What it’s like

The place. Arriba is a very small town on the high plains of eastern Colorado, in Lincoln County. Household incomes here run below the county's, and very few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold and snowy, with December the coldest month, while July brings the warmest days, and the year as a whole is fairly dry.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in shops, the building trades, and farming, forestry and mining. Across Lincoln County, some of the largest workplaces are Lincoln Community Hospital, the Limon School District and NextEra Energy. Unemployment across the county is higher than it was a year ago, and the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.

Things to do. For a day out, the North Fork Arikaree River is a river a longer drive away. World's Wonder View Tower, a museum, is also a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Arriba’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.

From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Lincoln County.
