What it’s like
The place. Rye is a very small town in Pueblo County, Colorado, where neighbors are likely to know one another. Homes here are valued well above what many would expect for a place this size. Winters are cold and very snowy, with December the coldest month, while summers stay warm without turning extreme. Precipitation overall is on the dry side, and much of it arrives as snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, professional and business services, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Pueblo County, the largest workplaces include Parkview Medical Center, Pueblo County School District 70 and EVRAZ Pueblo. Joblessness in the county has risen over the past year, and there are fewer jobs than there were the year before.
Things to do. Lake Isabel, a lake a short drive away, and Greenhorn Mountain Wilderness, a protected area also a short drive away, are the nearest places to get outdoors. North Cheyenne Cañon Park, a garden, is another short drive. For a longer outing, San Isabel National Forest is a protected area 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 Rye’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 Pueblo County and the Pueblo, CO metro.
