Aspen, CO — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
ZIP code 81611, covering Aspen, ranks among the wealthiest areas in the country. A median household income of $82,664 sits alongside a far higher per-capita figure of $115,065, a gap that reflects the concentration of wealth in this mountain community. Homes here carry a median value of $988,000, yet the county-level effective property tax rate is just 0.36%, so property taxes stay low even on high-value real estate. The combined sales tax rate of 2.90% adds little to everyday purchases. This is unmistakably an affluent ZIP, where substantial incomes and expensive housing coexist with unusually restrained tax rates.
