Adams County, CO Property Records & Statistics
Adams County has a median rent of $1,612, well above the $1,020 typical for Colorado and the $840.25 national figure. Renters here pay noticeably more each month than renters in the state or the country overall. Renter-occupied housing makes up 30.79% of occupied homes, higher than the state's 25.3% and the national 21.81%, which points to a sizable rental market alongside a majority of owner-occupied homes.
The median home value is $434,050, compared with $341,200 statewide and $173,750 nationally, so buying in Adams County costs considerably more than in most of the country. The median property tax rate is 0.6%, higher than Colorado's 0.38% but below the national rate of 0.74%. Homeowners therefore face higher values and a somewhat heavier tax rate than the state average, though still a lighter rate than the national one.
Median household income is $86,320, above both the state figure of $65,821 and the national $65,108. Higher earnings help offset some of the housing cost, but the county's unemployment rate of 3.31% is above Colorado's 2.71% and the national 2.87%, suggesting a labor market that is a little looser than the benchmarks.
Taken together, the figures describe a higher-cost, higher-income county where housing is expensive to rent or buy, rentals play a larger role than in the state as a whole, and employment is slightly weaker than average.
