If you are hoping to make it out of the “low-income” bracket in 2025, you’ll have to make over $35 per hour.
That’s according to the calculations by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. HUD calculates home income limits to determine if applicants are eligible for subsidized housing. The numbers are calculated across the U.S. for each county and metro area.
Anyone earning under 80% of the area’s median income is considered “low income” by HUD, while also taking into consideration the household size. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Denver County’s median household income (in 2023 dollars) is $91,681 annually. That’s slightly lower than the state’s median income of $92,470.
