What it’s like
The place. Jordan is a very small town, the kind where people tend to know one another. Household incomes run below the county's, and winters are cold, with the coldest weather in January and a warm midsummer in July. Rain and melted snow add up to a dry year overall.
Work. Residents work mostly in farming, forestry and mining, with many others in schools, hospitals and social care, in transport, warehouses and utilities, and in government. The Garfield CO. Health Center, a critical access hospital, is one of the largest workplaces across Garfield County. Unemployment across the county is a little lower than it was a year ago.
Things to do. For time outdoors, the Hell Creek Recreational Area is a protected area a longer drive away. The Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge is another protected area, also 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 Jordan’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 Garfield County.
