ZIP Code 81654

In ZIP code 81654, near Aspen, households earn a median of $141,111, while per-capita income reaches $76,856 — figures that reflect the area's high-cost mountain setting. A median home value of $1,122,000 pairs with a county-level effective property tax rate of 0.36%, so annual property taxes stay comparatively contained despite steep purchase prices. Sales tax combines to 2.90%, a lighter pull on day-to-day spending than many Colorado jurisdictions impose. Together these rates shape a budget where housing dominates costs, but ongoing tax obligations take a smaller share of income than the home price alone might imply.
