Twin Lakes CDP (Lake County), CO in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Twin Lakes CDP (Lake County) is a very small community in Colorado, with 504 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #288 of 482 ranked by population — larger than 40% of them. The median age here is 47.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Twin Lakes CDP (Lake County) earn a median of $138,025 a year, 75.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 60% above the $86,484 median for the 223 Colorado cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 5.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Twin Lakes CDP (Lake County) is valued at $618,400, 103.8% above the national figure and 36% above the $453,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 100% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
With 504 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Twin Lakes CDP (Lake County) against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld gross rent for Twin Lakes CDP (Lake County) 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.
