What it’s like
The place. Granby is a small mountain town in Grand County, Colorado, with a younger population than many places where people choose to retire. Household incomes here run below the county's, and homes and rents are priced high for a town this size. Winters are long and cold, with plenty of snow, and summers are mild and pleasant in the daytime.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, with others in professional and business services and in shops. Across Grand County, some of the largest workplaces are the East Grand School District, Kremmling Memorial Hospital District and King Soopers. A fair number of people in town work from home.
Things to do. Lake Granby, a reservoir, and the Arapaho National Recreation Area, a protected area, are both a short drive away, as is the Fraser River. Rocky Mountain National Park is a longer drive away, and so is Winter Park Resort, a ski area.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Granby’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Grand County.
