What it’s like
The place. Pleasant View is in Montezuma County, where most homes are lived in by their owners and the county's population skews toward older residents. Winters are colder than most of the country, with the coldest weather in January, and summers are hot, peaking in July. The town's figures are counted across the whole county, since the Census does not count Pleasant View on its own.
Work. Across Montezuma County, jobs fell slightly last year, and unemployment has risen compared with a year earlier. Most residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, shops, professional and business services, or government. Fewer adults hold a degree than the national average, and most people drive to work, with few working from home.
Things to do. Mesa Verde National Park, one of the best known sites in the region, is a longer drive away. Lowry Pueblo, an archaeological site, is only a short drive away. The Anasazi Heritage Center, a museum, is a longer drive away and covers the history of the area's ancient communities.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Montezuma County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low.

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 Montezuma County.
