About Durango, Colorado

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.
