Wellington is a somewhat small town located in the state of Colorado. With a population of 11,978 people and three associated neighborhoods, Wellington is the 48th largest community in Colorado. Much of the housing stock in Wellington was built relatively recently. The construction of new real estate can often be taken as an indication that the local Wellington economy is robust, and that jobs or other amenities are attracting an influx of new residents. This seems to be the case in Wellington, where the median household income is $101,259.00.

Housing costs in Wellington 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.

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

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 15.60% 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.

Wellington is a good choice for families with children because of several factors. Many other families with children live here, making it a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families. The town’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic success. Many people own their own single-family homes, providing areas for children to play and stability in the community. Finally, Wellington’s overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.

One downside of living in Wellington, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 30.60 minutes every day commuting to work.

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

Wellington is one of the most well-educated cities in the nation. 43.28% of adults in Wellington have at least a bachelor's degree. Compare that to the average community in America, which has just 21.84% with a bachelor's degree or higher.

The per capita income in Wellington in 2018 was $39,532, which is middle income relative to Colorado, and upper middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $158,128 for a family of four. However, Wellington contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
