"Princhett is a dry dusty small town in SE Colorado"
Pritchett is a two horse town about 30 miles from Oklahoma and Kansas. This is the dusty plains of southeast Colorado. The town is directly east of Trinidad, the closest Front Range town to the west. There are farms and ranches out in the grassy farmland country around Pritchett.
The average household income is about $20,000, far below the average in Colorado, there are only about 150 people who call the area home and it is a quiet spot away from any major interstates or even big highways except HW 160. New Mex is no far to the south and a bit of the rodeo/southwest flare is found in Pritchett. Land is cheap but the summers are hot, dusty and dry and the winters are no better.

"The setting for the movie "The Hi-Lo Country""
Scenes from The Hi-Lo Country movie were shot here in what was once a stop along the railroad, back in the days of a much larger population. Although the town's current population is only 140, you can still see signs of past and current farming. Plenty of winter wheat is grown here and you can see the grain elevators rising above the horizon. The median household income here is $36,356 and the median home price is $53,736. Seven of the residents here are of Hispanic origin, while the rest of the town is White. The largest industries here are education, healthcare, and transportation and warehousing.
When many of the businesses began closing in Pritchett, they took up shop in nearby Springfield. Springfield is only 20 minutes away, but offers a medical center, shopping and dining. There is also a community pool.
Life in Pritchett is definitely slower. The one long, brick school building houses Kindergarten through 12th grade and many of the teachers teach more than one grade or subject. This is the kind of town for people who want to farm the land and live a nice, quiet life.
