Eaton Profile


Overview

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.

Housing costs in Eaton are among some of the highest in the nation, although real estate prices here don't compare to real estate prices in the most expensive communities in Colorado.

Overall, Eaton is a town of service providers, professionals, and construction workers and builders.

Setting & Lifestyle

In addition, Eaton is home to many people who could be described as "urban sophisticates". Urban sophisticates are educated, wealthy, executives and professionals, who have urbane tastes in books, food, and travel, whether they actually live in a big city, or choose to reside in a small town. In big or medium-sized cities, urban sophisticates tend to frequent art institutions such as opera, symphonies, ballet, live theatre, and museums.

Because of many things, Eaton is a great place for families with children to consider. First of all, many other families with children live here, making Eaton a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families, as well as find family-oriented services and community. The town’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic values. With regard to real estate, Eaton has a high rate of owner-occupied single family homes, which tends to reflect stability in the local community. Finally, Eaton’s overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.

Being a small town, Eaton does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
