Severance is a very small town located in the state of Colorado. With a population of 6,494 people and just one neighborhood, Severance is the 98th largest community in Colorado. Much of the housing stock in Severance was built relatively recently. The construction of new real estate can often be taken as an indication that the local Severance economy is robust, and that jobs or other amenities are attracting an influx of new residents. This seems to be the case in Severance, where the median household income is $106,141.00.
Housing costs in Severance are among some of the highest in the nation, although real estate prices here don't compare to real estate prices in the most expensive communities in Colorado.
Severance is neither predominantly blue-collar nor white-collar, instead having a mixed workforce of both blue-collar and white-collar jobs. Overall, Severance is a town of managers, professionals, and sales and office workers.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 8.26% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
In addition, Severance is home to many people who could be described as "urban sophisticates". Urban sophisticates are people who are both educated and wealthy, and thus tend to be older, richer, and more established than young professionals. "Urban sophisticates" is not just about being educated and well-off financially: it is a point of view and state of mind, one that you might call 'urbaneness'. But such people can and do regularly live in small towns, suburbs and rural areas, as well as in big cities. They read, support the arts and high-end shops, and love travel.

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, Severance has a high rate of owner-occupied single family homes, which tends to reflect stability in the local community. Finally, Severance’s overall crime rate ranks among the lowest in the country, making it one of the safest places to raise a family.
Severance is a small town, and as such doesn't have a public transit system that people use to get to and from their jobs every day.
The education level of Severance ranks among the highest in the nation. Of the 25-and-older adult population in Severance, 42.57% have at least a bachelor's degree. The typical US community has just 21.84% of its adults holding a bachelor's degree or graduate degree.
