KNOW YOUR GEOGRAPHY

Plains, mountain counties and small metro outlines.

The county map spans Colorado’s eastern plains, the Front Range and the Western Slope. Denver and Broomfield are each a consolidated city and county, represented here by separate county-level GEOIDs.

Use a zoomed view to select small metro polygons. A county fill covers the entire feature, so municipality, elevation and ski-area data need the appropriate geography or a county-level aggregation.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Colorado county map questions.

Why do Colorado GEOIDs start with 08?

Colorado’s state FIPS code is 08. Keep the leading zero in the five-digit county GEOID, such as 08031 for Denver.

Are Denver and Broomfield separate features?

Yes. Denver uses 08031 and Broomfield uses 08014. Each has a single county-level identity.

Can I compare the Front Range with the Western Slope?

Choose counties that represent the area you are comparing. Use one consistent indicator and time period across them.

Does the western outline show mountain ranges?

It shows administrative county outlines. Use a separate terrain layer if your project needs mountain ranges or elevation.

Why did Denver and Douglas receive different migration colors?

Denver had a net domestic loss and Douglas had a gain. The legend uses zero as a class boundary.

Can I join records for a ski town directly?

Use a county GEOID only when the observation covers an entire county. A town-specific observation needs town geography or a suitable aggregation.
