ABOUT DURANGO, CO
Durango is situated at the southwestern foot of the Rocky Mountains at an
elevation of 6,500 feet. The population is about 17,000 (50,000+
countywide). Surrounded by some two-million acres of San Juan National
Forest land, the area is a natural playground for all who appreciate
spectacular views and outdoor experiences. Though Durango is a
geographically, culturally, and economically diverse area, the thread that
ties its citizenry together is quality of life.
Durango was recently ranked the #1 "micropolitan" area in the United States
by an independent economic research firm, Policom. Durango was ranked first
out of 576 micropolitan (less than 50,000 people) areas studied. The study
ranked over 23 different economic factors, including wages and earnings.
Large corporations and small main street shops thrive in Durango. Mercury
is among Durango's largest employers.
Small enough to feel personal and uncongested, Durango is large enough to
offer a diverse selection of recreational, entertainment, cultural, and
educational opportunities. Locals and tourists alike enjoy Durango for its
high mountain vistas, powder skiing, cycling, kayaking, rafting, fishing,
and lingering hints of western lore. Our playground is the entire four
corners area, from hot desert to mountain summits.
No wonder why Durango residents are some of the most fulfilled in Colorado
and the US.
