About 33.31% of occupied homes are rented, noticeably more than the state share of 25.3% and the national share of 21.81%, so rental housing plays a bigger role here than in most places.

Income and employment are the county's weak points. Median household income is $49,046, compared with $65,821 statewide and $65,108 nationally. The unemployment rate of 12.64% is far above the Colorado rate of 2.71% and the national rate of 2.87%, which points to a local economy under real strain.
Overall, Moffat County offers lower home prices and lighter property taxes than the rest of Colorado, but those advantages come alongside lower incomes and high unemployment.
