ZIP Code 81143

With a median household income of $30,915, ZIP code 81143 sits well below the national midpoint, placing the Crestone area among working-class communities. Per-capita income of $23,780 reinforces that picture. Homes here carry a median value of $168,600, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.33% keeps annual tax bills comparatively contained. Sales tax totals 2.90%, so everyday purchases carry a lighter added cost than in many parts of the country. Together these figures describe a place where household earnings are limited but the tax structure asks comparatively little of residents, whether they own property or simply shop locally.
