How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:

The city

The job is in Fort Collins, CO. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

How Fort Collins compares. Among the 80 largest places in Colorado, Fort Collins is #4 by population, #74 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #17 for long commutes (#1 = fewest), #18 for college degrees (#1 = most). Its county, Larimer County, is #9 of 64 counties for average pay ($69,912).

The place in numbers

Fort Collins has 170,229 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 2.9% of the population of Colorado. It covers 57 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 2,974 people per square mile. The median age is 30.9, 18% younger than the state median (30.9 against 37.7).

Housing

The median gross rent is $1,690 a month (rent plus utilities), 4% below the state median ($1,690 against $1,761). Over a year that is 23.8% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $577,900, which is 6.8 times the median household income ($85,070); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 51.6% of households own their home, 22% below the state average (51.6% against 66.2%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.

Work and pay

The Fort Collins-Loveland, CO metropolitan area has 169,430 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $55,310 a year, 8% above the national median ($55,310 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are food preparation and serving related (18,430 jobs, median $36,810); office and administrative support (17,740 jobs, median $48,780); sales and related (17,700 jobs, median $43,580). The area is most specialised in food preparation and serving related (1.2 times) and sales and related (1.2 times), where the share of workers is above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($134,170) and computer and mathematical ($111,080). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Larimer County was 4.2%. 70.3% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Larimer County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 62.2% drive alone, 1.3% use public transit, 4.1% walk, 21.9% work from home. 8.9% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 37% below the state average (8.9% against 14.1%).

People and education

60.7% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 33% above the state share (60.7% against 45.7%). 6.8% of residents were born outside the United States, 31% below the state share (6.8% against 9.8%). The poverty rate is 15.8%, 68% above the state rate (15.8% against 9.4%).

Climate

The warmest month is Jul, averaging 75°F (23.9°C), and the coolest is Dec at 29°F (-1.5°C). About 450 mm (18 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; May is the wettest month (68 mm) and Jan the driest (19 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.

Nearby cities to compare

Closest cities in this guide: Timnath (5 miles, rent 31% higher); Loveland (9 miles, similar rent); Windsor (9 miles, rent 6% higher); Severance (11 miles, rent 52% higher). Rent differences are against Fort Collins; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
