"A small agricultural town on the eastern plains of Colorado"

Yuma is a small agricultural town in eastern Colorado. The population is just over 3,500. Median income here is $33,616, while the median home price is $80,858 - both of which are well below the state averages. This small community does have a lot of spirit and many people who live here have been here for generations, working the same land as their grandparents and great-grandparents. The town's population is about 65% white and about 34% hispanic.

There isn't too much to do in Yuma, as it's so small. There are only a couple of options for eating out, such as Subway and Dairy Queen. There are also a couple of gas stations and one convenience store (a 7-11). There aren't many business either. You can find a hardware store, FedEx, tax advisors and a Radio Shack.

Overall Yuma is pretty safe and there isn't much crime. The crime that does get reported is usually theft and robbery, with very few incidents of assault, unlike many other larger towns.
Pros
  • safe community
Cons
  • far from Front Range
  • limited shopping

"Yuma -- 30 miles from Nebraska/Kansas"

Yuma is a little agricultural community well south of I-76 on the northeastern Colorado Plains about 30 miles from where Colorado meets the Nebraska/Kansas line. There are about 3,500 residents in Yuma and most work in or around agriculture, Yuma is too far from the Front Range or any city to commute to. The average household income is reported to be about $30,000. The average home price is about $130,000 in town.

The public schools sports teams are called the Yuma Indians and is very important in town. Yuma Municipal Airport is a small airport just south of town. Yuma is the county seat of Yuma County and the airport is the closest airport besides Denver International Airport that is over 100 miles away to the west. Yuma is basically Kansas and you have to drive for about an hour still before you can see the Rocky Mountains.
