ZIP 80923 in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

ZIP 80923 is a small city in El Paso County, Colorado, with 32,333 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #67 of 528 ranked by population — larger than 87% of them. The median age here is 35 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 ZIP 80923 earn a median of $103,556 a year, 31.9% 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 3.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 80923 is valued at $448,800, 47.9% above the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,997 a month, 42% above the national figure, or roughly $23,964 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.1% 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 4.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 70.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.

Reading ZIP 80923 in context

How 80923 sits inside El Paso County and Colorado.

ZIP 80923 is tabulated inside El Paso County, Colorado, one of 41 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 80923 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 80923 reports a median household income of $103,556, 21% above the $85,341 county median, and 28% above the $80,917 typical CO ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $448,800, 7% above the county figure and 5% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $1,997 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 80923 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 80923 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.
