The quick read
Reading Longmont, CO beyond the headline numbers
Longmont sits inside Boulder County, Colorado, at roughly 40.17°N, -105.10°W. Population 92,088, $90,671 median household income. Median home value $572,800, median rent $1,816. Poverty rate 8.6%, read against that income figure since two cities on the same median can differ underneath it.
2 hospitals in/around Longmont, 4/5 avg rating, 2 with an ER.
At 8.6%, poverty in Longmont, CO runs below the midpoint of reporting cities -- enough to matter locally, not enough to dominate the city's profile.
The median home in Longmont costs around 6.3 times what a median household earns in a year -- the most expensive quarter of reporting cities, and far enough ahead of local pay that ownership is largely closed to median earners.
22.3% of Longmont workers report working from home, the highest quarter of reporting cities. Where that share runs this high, local income increasingly reflects employers located somewhere else.
Among the CDC measures on this page, short sleep duration departs furthest from its peer median: 25.4% in Longmont, the lowest-prevalence quarter of the 3,852 cities reporting that measure.
