Woodland Park city, CO in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Woodland Park city is a mid-size town in Colorado, with 7,909 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #91 of 482 ranked by population — larger than 81% of them. The median age here is 40.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.
Households in Woodland Park city earn a median of $96,896 a year, 23.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 12% 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 8.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Woodland Park city is valued at $489,400, 61.3% above the national figure and 8% above the $453,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,971 a month, 40.2% above the national figure, or roughly $23,652 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 76.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
