Swink town, CO in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Swink town is a very small community in Colorado, with 502 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #289 of 482 ranked by population — larger than 40% of them. The median age here is 43.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Swink town earn a median of $52,604 a year, 33% below the national figure of $78,538 and 39% below the $86,484 median for the 223 Colorado cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 8.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Swink town is valued at $140,600, 53.7% below the national figure and 69% below the $453,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 92.1% 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. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
With 502 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Swink town against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld gross rent for Swink town 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.
