What it’s like
The place. Pierce is a small town in Weld County, Colorado, where households have incomes well below the county's and typical homes are not cheap. Poverty is rare here. Winters are cold, with December the coldest month and freezing nights, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a fairly dry year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in professional and business services, manufacturing and shops. Only a small share of people work from home. Across Weld County, the largest workplaces include JBS Greeley Fed Beef, Vestas Blades America and North Colorado Medical Center. Unemployment across the county is higher than it was a year earlier, though the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Owl Creek is a short drive away. Horsetooth Reservoir, a longer drive away, is a reservoir for time on the water. Lory State Park, also a longer drive away, is a protected area for walking and being outdoors.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Pierce’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.
