Eaton is a somewhat small town located in the state of Colorado. With a population of 5,868 people and just one neighborhood, Eaton is the 84th largest community in Colorado. Eaton has seen a significant amount of newer housing growth in recent years. Quite often, new home construction is the result of new residents moving in who are middle class or wealthier, attracted by jobs, a healthy local economy, or other amenities as they leave nearby or far away areas for greener pastures. This seems to be the case in Eaton, where the median household income is $86,620.00.
