What it’s like
The place. Dacono is a small city in Weld County where most homes are lived in by their owners, and the population is younger than in many towns. Household incomes run a little above the county's, and few residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cold and summers turn hot, with a modest amount of rain and melted snow across the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, the building trades, professional and business services, and transport, warehouses and utilities. In Dacono itself, the larger workplaces include EarthRoamer, which assembles motor homes, along with Montgomery Electric and Symmetry Builders. Commutes are fairly long, and a good number of people work from home.
Things to do. Colorado National Speedway, a race track, sits in or beside town. Boulder Creek, a river, is a short drive away. For a longer outing, Denver has the Denver Art Museum and the Denver Zoo, 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 Dacono’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. 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 Weld County and the Greeley, CO metro.
