ZIP code 80013

ZIP 80013 is a small city in Arapahoe County, Colorado, with 74,732 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #2 of 528 ranked by population — larger than 99% of them. The median age here is 36.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.

Households in ZIP 80013 earn a median of $97,167 a year, 23.7% above the national figure of $78,538. 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 10.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 80013 is valued at $453,700, 49.5% above the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,978 a month, 40.7% above the national figure, or roughly $23,736 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 4.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 76.7% 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.

ZIP 80013 is tabulated inside Arapahoe County, Colorado, one of 17 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 528 across Colorado. This is a dense urban ZIP, where a single postal boundary can hold more residents than an entire rural county. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 80013 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 80013 reports a median household income of $97,167, close to the $97,167 county median, and 20% above the $80,917 typical CO ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $453,700, 19% below the county figure and 6% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $1,978 a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

A taxable purchase made inside 80013 carries 8% at the register, assembled from the Aurora jurisdiction stack: the Colorado state rate plus every county, municipal and special district levy that reaches this address. Because those district boundaries were drawn for schools, transit and hospital funding rather than for mail delivery, two addresses inside 80013 can legitimately fall under different totals — the rate shown here is the one that applies to the dominant jurisdiction.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 80013 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
