Reading Castle Pines North, CO beyond the headline numbers

Castle Pines North sits inside Park County, Colorado, at roughly 39.47°N, -104.89°W. Its population of 17,907 and median household income of $103,670 are the two most quoted figures, but in isolation they hide the shape of the city. A median home value of $532,100 paired with median rent of $2,161 is the starting point for a price-to-income read that tells you how stretched a typical household is before any other cost of living factor is considered. The 5% poverty rate next to that income figure is the better signal — two cities with identical medians can have very different lived realities depending on the income distribution underneath.
