ZIP code 80620

ZIP 80620 is a mid-size town in Weld County, Colorado, with 20,776 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #118 of 528 ranked by population — larger than 77% of them. The median age here is 29.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 ZIP 80620 earn a median of $71,410 a year, 9.1% below the national figure of $78,538. 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 14.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 80620 is valued at $315,400, 4% above the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,463 a month, 4.1% above the national figure, or roughly $17,556 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.6% 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 4.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 68.7% 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.

A median age of 29.1 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.

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 80620 is tabulated inside Weld County, Colorado, one of 35 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 528 across Colorado. This is a mid-sized suburban ZIP inside a county that is split across many delivery areas. 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 80620 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 80620 reports a median household income of $71,410, 18% below the $86,938 county median, and 12% below the $80,917 typical CO ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $315,400, 27% below the county figure and 26% below the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $1,463 a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

Colorado charges 2.9% statewide, and local governments overlapping 80620 may add county, city or special-district levies on top. We publish the state floor for this ZIP rather than guessing a combined figure, because ZIP boundaries and taxing-district boundaries were drawn for different purposes and do not line up.

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 80620 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.
