Best In Colorado Real Estate™: High Country

Eagle County leads Colorado’s High Country in average household size—2.5—according to the latest ALEX Intelligence report based on 2024 U.S. Census data. This isn’t a demographic curiosity; it’s a response to extreme housing costs, where shared living is a survival strategy. This trend signals not just affordability pressure, but a structural shift toward household resilience. How does this dynamic play out in your market? The real lesson? In high-cost mountain communities, density isn’t a byproduct—it’s a strategy.
