Brush

Approximately 5,300 people call Brush, Colorado home. This small town lies on both sides of I-76 although the majority of the homes are south of the highway. There isn't much to Brush outside of housing other than a gas station, small hotel (Econolodge if I remember correctly), and a Wendy's, which stays busy from traffic passing through. There are no real stores to speak of so residents have to travel to Fort Morgan or Sterling for shopping and more dining options. This area is popular with truck drivers as they have quick access to the highway, although manufacturing is the largest industry here. The median household income is $38,692 while an average, single family detached home costs around $126,500. The town is roughly 60% white, followed by 36% Hispanic.

Some of the neighborhoods of Brush have been around for years and are made up of older, small single family homes. There is also a newer area with more modern homes which are mainly two stories. There are a couple of older apartment complexes in the town as well. Most of the streets are wide and tree lined and in the spring and summer months it is really green here. There is a cemetery in town which is one of the best tended cemeteries I've ever seen.
