What it’s like
The place. Sedalia is a very small community in Douglas County, with far fewer people than most places on this site. Homes here are valued well above what is typical across the country, and household incomes across Douglas County sit high as well. Winters are cold and snowy, summers are warm, and the year brings a modest amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, professional and business services, banks, insurance and property, and shops. Across Douglas County, the biggest workplaces include the Douglas County School District, SKY Ridge Medical Center and Erickson Living. Unemployment across the county is a little higher than it was a year earlier, though the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Daniels Park and Roxborough State Park are both a short drive away, offering open parkland and a protected natural area close to home. For a longer outing, the Denver Art Museum and the Denver Zoo are a longer drive away, and so are the Denver Museum of Nature and Science and Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

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 Douglas County and the Denver-Aurora-Lakewood, CO metro.
