Ouray lands in the national county income distribution as upper-quartile household income on low-population county footing (FIPS 08091, 2 ZIPs, combined population 3,806). On this short ZIP list the county page is mainly the FIPS bridge - household ACS fields live on the primary ZIP.
High income on only 2 ZIPs: the county page and the ZIP page nearly describe the same place. Prefer the ZIP detail for ACS household fields; keep this page for the FIPS join to county-level rents and crime tables.
Combined population stays under five thousand - this is a thin rural FIPS. Bookmark one ZIP; a multi-ZIP shortlist rarely adds signal beyond the primary code's ACS row.
Within Colorado, Phillips is the closest lower-income county and Dolores the closest higher-income county by average ZIP household income. Their 3 and 2 ZIP footprints are the immediate statewide comparison set for Ouray. Use those locations as statewide context before treating the county average as a local-market answer.
