What it’s like
The place. Boone is a very small town in Pueblo County, with a population that stays well under what most people would call a town centre. Homes here are valued below what is typical for the country, and household incomes in the county are on the modest side. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and winters are cold while summers run hot and dry-ish only in the sense that the yearly rain and melted snow is light.
Work. Residents mostly work in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, professional and business services, and restaurants and hotels also employing many. Across Pueblo County, the largest workplaces include Parkview Medical Center, EVRAZ Pueblo and Target. The commute is a fairly long one, few people work from home, and the county has seen fewer jobs over the past year and unemployment higher than a year earlier.
Things to do. In or beside town there is the Huerfano River and the site of Fort Reynolds, a good pairing for a quiet afternoon outdoors. A short drive away is Chico Creek, a small waterway. For a longer outing, the Pueblo Zoo and the El Pueblo History Museum are both 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 Boone’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 Pueblo County and the Pueblo, CO metro.
