Westminster profile


Living in Westminster



Westminster is a larger medium-sized city located in the state of Colorado. With a population of 114,533 people and 28 associated neighborhoods, Westminster is the eighth largest community in Colorado.

Housing costs in Westminster 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.

Also of interest is that Westminster has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 15.67% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

One thing noticeable about Westminster, although not a huge city, is that it has a large population of people who are young, single, educated, and upwardly-mobile career starters. That’s because Westminster is full of single people in their 20s and 30s and who have undergraduate or graduate degrees and are starting careers in professional occupations. This makes Westminster a pretty good place for young, educated career starters looking to find many people like themselves, with good opportunities for friendships, socializing, romance, and fun.

Westminster is one of the most well-educated cities in the nation. 42.20% of adults in Westminster have at least a bachelor's degree. Compare that to the average community in America, which has just 21.84% with a bachelor's degree or higher.

The per capita income in Westminster in 2022 was $47,856, which is upper middle income relative to Colorado, and wealthy relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $191,424 for a family of four. However, Westminster contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
