In September 2026, Aspen's typical home value was $3,559,803, about 48.1× its ACS median annual household income of $74,033. That is a comparison of two area-level measures, not a required salary to buy a home. The income figure describes local households, not just homebuyers; it does not measure their savings, equity, or monthly housing costs. The city value is 31.3% above the same-month Pitkin County figure of $2,710,408. A county aggregate is not an average of the city values listed here, and does not describe every neighborhood.
Median household income in Aspen is $74,033, so the typical home value is about 48.1× annual household income. This is a simple price-to-income benchmark rather than a monthly payment estimate; it does not account for mortgage rates, down payments, taxes or insurance.
Household income comes from the U.S. Census Bureau's ACS 5-Year Estimates, table B19013 (how the affordability measure works).
