The Community

Jefferson County enjoys the best of two worlds - beautiful Rocky Mountain foothills on the west and the urban attractions of the Denver metropolitan area on the east. Housing choices range from homes on multi-acre rural sites to high-density apartment complexes. County residents appreciate the over 50,000 acres of dedicated open space and parks with numerous hiking, horseback, and bike trails. Jefferson County families can choose among excellent schools. The public school district, Colorado’s largest, offers about 150 neighborhood, option, and charter schools. The county also is home to numerous parochial and private schools. About 530,000 people reside in the county, including a fast-growing Hispanic population. County property taxes provide a stable financial base for a decentralized library system of seven full-service libraries, three smaller community libraries and a bookmobile. The library has about 215 full-time-equivalent staff positions and a collection of 1.2 million items. Staff members are service-oriented and have ample opportunity to participate in decision making.
