The Colorado State Demography Section provides annual population estimates, and these estimates are constantly revised based on a number of factors.

Employment & Income

The region’s largest employers include education, medical services, government, retail grocers and tourism. Employment is measured in a variety of ways such as annual payroll, number of employees, plus full-time equivalent (FTE) employees.

Total Personal Income within the county is more than solely employment income. Totals include other sources flowing into the county such as transfer payments, dividends, interest and rent, and residency adjustments.
