Sterling Ranch, CO population, income and ZIP codes

Sterling Ranch CDP is a small town in Colorado, with 2,530 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #160 of 482 ranked by population — larger than 66% of them. The median age here is 37.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Sterling Ranch CDP earn a median of $198,750 a year, 153.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 130% above the $86,484 median for the 223 Colorado cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 1.9% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Sterling Ranch CDP is valued at $794,800, 162% above the national figure and 75% above the $453,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 98.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

The Census withheld gross rent for Sterling Ranch CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
