Peyton, Colorado Demographics & Population 2026

A note before these figures: with a population of 139, Peyton's ACS estimates come from a small number of survey responses and carry wide margins of error. Individual percentages below — particularly rates that round to 0% or 100% — are approximations, not precise measurements. See data.census.gov for the published margins of error.

The ACS records no residents below the poverty line in Peyton. In a community this small the estimate rests on very few survey responses, so it should be read as an absence of measurement rather than a measured absence of poverty.

Every occupied housing unit the survey reached in Peyton was renter-occupied. At this sample size that indicates no owner-occupied homes were captured rather than that none exist.
