About Columbine

Columbine is a medium-sized town located in the state of Colorado. With a population of 24,051 people and just one neighborhood, Columbine is the 24th largest community in Colorado.

Columbine is a decidedly white-collar town, with fully 86.19% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Columbine is a town of sales and office workers, professionals, and managers. There are especially a lot of people living in Columbine who work in office and administrative support jobs (14.83%), sales jobs (14.22%), and management occupations (13.59%).

Also of interest is that Columbine has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

In addition, Columbine is home to many people who could be described as "urban sophisticates," which are people who are not only wealthy and employed in professional occupations, but highly educated to boot. Urban sophisticates have urbane tastes - whether they reside in a big or small city, a suburb, or a little town. Urban sophisticates support bookstores, quality clothing stores, enjoy luxury travel, and in big cities, they are truly the patrons of the arts, attending and supporting institutions such as opera, symphony, ballet, and theatre.

Because of many things, Columbine is a great place for families with children to consider. First of all, many other families with children live here, making Columbine a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families, as well as find family-oriented services and community. The town's good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic values. With regard to real estate, Columbine has a high rate of owner-occupied single family homes, which tends to reflect stability in the local community. Finally, Columbine's overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.

For most residents of Columbine, getting to work requires a car. In fact, 96.9% of people in Columbine drive alone to work on most days, making Columbine a very car-oriented town. In general, car-oriented communities tend to emphasize streets, highways, and ease of parking, often to the detriment of walkability. Strip centers are a feature of Columbine's landscape.

Being a small town, Columbine does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
