What it’s like
The place. Bennett is a small town in Adams County where most homes are lived in by their owners, far more than is typical across the country. Households here have incomes above the county's, and few people live below the poverty line. The population is fairly young, and a smaller share of adults hold a four-year degree than you might expect given the incomes.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, the building trades, transport, warehouses and utilities, and shops. Across Adams County, the largest workplaces include University of CO Hospital, Children's Hospital Colorado and Adams 12 Five Star Schools. The typical commute is long, and few people work from home. Unemployment across the county has risen a little over the past year, and the number of jobs has barely changed.
Things to do. Most outings mean a longer drive. The Denver Art Museum, a museum, and the Denver Zoo are among the best known places to head for, and Denver Botanic Gardens, a botanical garden, is a good choice for a quieter afternoon. Winters are cold and summers hot, with a dry climate overall, so spring and autumn suit time outdoors.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Bennett’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Adams County and the Denver-Aurora-Lakewood, CO metro.
