What is the typical age range of the people in the town?
Fort Collins has an interesting mix of residents with diverse backgrounds. Being a college town, there are naturally many young people in their early twenties. However, Fort Collins has several large, high-tech organizations such as Hewlett-Packard and Agilent, which attract slightly older (mid 20’s to 40’s) residents and their families. Recently, Fort Collins was voted as one of the best places to retire, so we also have a fair number of retirees. Lastly, Fort Collins is also somewhat of a farming community and some residents still make their living this way. Overall, the average inhabitant of Fort Collins is young and well educated. Statistically, the median age of residents is 28.5, and approximately 42.7% of the population has completed four or more years of college.
