What it’s like
The place. Hudson is a small town in Weld County, Colorado, on the high plains northeast of Denver. Its residents are younger on average than in much of the country, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold and snowy, summers turn hot, and the year is fairly dry overall.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in professional and business services, manufacturing and shops. Across Weld County, some of the largest workplaces are JBS Greeley Fed Beef, Vestas Blades America and North Colorado Medical Center. Commutes are fairly long, and very few people work from home. Unemployment across the county has risen a little over the past year, while the number of jobs there has grown.
Things to do. The Vintage Aero Flying Museum is a short drive away and is the closest place on the list. A longer drive brings you to Barr Lake State Park, a protected area, and to the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge. Dick's Sporting Goods Park, a stadium, is also a longer drive.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Hudson’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 Weld County and the Greeley, CO metro.
