Overview


Snyder is a tiny town located in the state of Colorado. With a population of 136 people and just one neighborhood, Snyder is the 239th largest community in Colorado. Snyder has an unusually large stock of pre-World War II architecture, making it one of the older and more historic towns.

Housing costs in Snyder 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.

Occupations and Workforce

Unlike some towns where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Snyder is neither predominantly one nor the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Snyder is a town of sales and office workers, service providers, and construction workers and builders. There are especially a lot of people living in Snyder who work in office and administrative support (35.00%), food service (35.00%), and sales jobs (0.00%).

Setting & Lifestyle

Another notable thing is that Snyder is a major vacation destination. Much of the town’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependent on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Snyder’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.

The overall crime rate in Snyder is one of the lowest in the US. This makes it one of the safer places to live in the country in terms of crime.

It is a fairly quiet town because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. (Children, for example, often can't help themselves from being noisy, and being parents ourselves, we know!) Snyder has relatively few families with children living at home, and is quieter because of it. Renters and college students, for their own reasons, can also be noisy. Snyder has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Snyder than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Snyder may be for you.

One of the benefits of Snyder is that there is very little traffic. The average commute to work is 7.50 minutes, which is substantially less than the national average. Not only does this mean that the drive to work is less aggravating, but noise and pollution levels are lower as a result.

Snyder is very much a car-oriented town. This is because the population of Snyder isn't large enough or dense enough to support an extensive public transit system. It has a lot of rural roads, and the distance between houses can be quite large, which together tends to discourage walking and bicycling to work. 100.00% of residents commute to work in their own car (and the drive is typically to a job out of town). People also tend to drive out of town for other services as well, such as shopping, doctors appointments, and more.

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