Teller County, CO Property Records & Statistics
Teller County has a median rent of $1,347, well above the Colorado median of $1,020 and the national figure of $840.25. The median home value is $349,600, a little higher than the state's $341,200 and roughly double the national median of $173,750. Renters make up 22.57% of occupied housing, below the state share of 25.3% but slightly above the national share of 21.81%, so ownership is the norm here.
Property taxes are a bright spot for owners. The county's median property tax rate of 0.28% is lower than both the state rate of 0.38% and the national rate of 0.74%. That means a typical homeowner pays comparatively little in annual tax relative to what their home is worth, even though purchase prices are high.
Median household income in the county is $62,979, a bit under the state's $65,821 and the national $65,108. Because rents and home values are high while incomes sit slightly below average, housing can take a larger share of a household budget than the income figures alone suggest.
The labor market is solid. Teller County's unemployment rate of 2.05% is lower than the state's 2.71% and the national 2.87%. Together, the figures describe a county with expensive housing, low tax rates, mostly owner-occupied homes and strong employment.
