ZIP Code 81638

Households in ZIP code 81638, near Dinosaur, report a per-capita income of $35,064, so earnings here sit below many parts of Colorado. The county-level property tax rate of 0.40% keeps annual housing costs tied to home value rather than eating heavily into take-home pay, while a combined sales tax of 2.90% adds only a few cents per dollar at the register. Together, these rates leave a larger share of each paycheck for everyday needs, savings, or debt payments, though the lower income base still shapes how far that money stretches month to month.
