ZIP code 80930

ZIP 80930 is a small town in El Paso County, Colorado, with 1,692 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #289 of 528 ranked by population — larger than 45% of them. The median age here is 31.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 ZIP 80930 earn a median of $77,039 a year, 1.9% below 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 5.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 80930 is valued at $325,800, 7.4% above the national figure, while median gross rent runs $2,013 a month, 43.2% above the national figure, or roughly $24,156 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 31.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 33.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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 80930 is tabulated inside El Paso County, Colorado, one of 41 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 528 across Colorado. Fewer than 2,500 people are counted here, so the ZIP behaves like a village delivery route rather than a neighbourhood. 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 80930 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 80930 reports a median household income of $77,039, 10% below the $85,341 county median, and 5% below the $80,917 typical CO ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $325,800, 22% below the county figure and 24% below the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $2,013 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 80930 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 80930 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.
