List of Colorado counties by socioeconomic factors

This list of the 64 counties of the U.S. State of Colorado by socioeconomic factors is sourced from the 2020 United States census, the 2022 American Community Survey, and the County Health Rankings & Roadmaps program of the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute. All data are five-year estimates from 2018–2022, unless otherwise noted.

Compared to the United States as a whole, Colorado has a higher per capita income, a higher rate of population growth, a better-educated population (as measured by the percentage of population aged 25 years and over with bachelor's degree or higher), and lower poverty and uninsured rates. Colorado's population has a higher percentage of non-Hispanic whites than the U.S. as a whole, although two Colorado counties — Costilla and Conejos — have a majority-Hispanic population. The state's vote in the 2024 presidential election was greater for the Democratic candidate than the Republican candidate.

Colorado has a longer life expectancy than the U.S. as a whole. In 2014, a study by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation concluded that the residents of Summit, Pitkin, and Eagle counties — noted for their ski resorts in Breckenridge, Aspen, and Vail, respectively — in the high-elevation Rocky Mountains enjoyed the longest life expectancy among all U.S. counties. Factors contributing to their lengthy life expectancy were "high education, high income, high access to medical care", as well as people being "physically active", with obesity being "lower than anywhere else" per Dr. Ali Mokdad, one of the study's co-authors.Achenbach, Joel, "U.S. life expectancy varies more than 20 years from county to county," Washington Post, May 8, 2017

Colorado's median household income and median family income exceed the national median. By median household income, Colorado's Douglas county ranks 8th, Elbert ranks 24th, and Broomfield ranks 40th among all U.S. counties.

While some Colorado counties exceed the U.S. average in positive socioeconomic factors, a sizable number of Colorado counties are below the U.S. average. 40 Colorado counties have a median household income below the national median and 26 have a life expectancy below the national average.

Depending on the methodology used and the time of measurement, socioeconomic statistics cited may vary from year to year — especially in counties with small populations where, for example, the gain or loss of a major employer may result in a sizable change in measurements of poverty, population growth, income, and others.
