Craig

Craig currently has about 9,480 residents. The major industries here are health care and social assistance, retail, and mining, quarrying, and gas & oil extractions. The median household income and the average priced home are both a bit below Colorado's averages. Many of the homes in town are older, but most look well maintained. The streets are lined with large, old trees which are really nice.

While Craig is far from the Front Range, it is not really a mountain town. The views from here aren't even that good. It's elevated yes, but not what you think of when you think of a nice little mountain town tucked into the mountains. But on the plus side, it is very close to some great hiking, camping, and hunting areas.

There is most of what any resident would need here, such as a grocery store and restaurants, but for bigger shopping residents need to travel elsewhere. Craig is a bit remote, but has a nicer, small town feel to it.
