ZIP Code 81230

In ZIP code 81230, which covers Crested Butte, households bring in a median of $77,942 a year, while per-capita income sits at $42,422. A median home value of $533,200 stands well above what that earnings level would normally support, though the county's 0.29% effective property tax rate keeps annual tax bills far below what such a price tag might imply elsewhere. Sales tax in the area totals 2.90%, a small ongoing cost on everyday purchases. Together these figures shape a budget where housing value and income diverge sharply, but low property taxation eases the squeeze.
