Mead Profile


Overview

Mead is a very small town located in the state of Colorado. With a population of 5,336 people and just one neighborhood, Mead is the 94th largest community in Colorado.

Mead home prices are not only among the most expensive in Colorado, but Mead real estate also consistently ranks among the most expensive in America.

Occupations and Workforce

Unlike some towns, Mead isn’t mainly white- or blue-collar. Instead, the most prevalent occupations for people in Mead are a mix of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Mead is a town of sales and office workers, professionals, and managers. There are especially a lot of people living in Mead who work in office and administrative support (17.34%), management occupations (12.03%), and sales jobs (11.38%).

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

Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 11.66% of people work from home. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce it is high relative to the nation. 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.

First of all, many other families with children live here, making Mead a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families, as well as find family-oriented services and community.

With regard to real estate, Mead has a high rate of owner-occupied single family homes, which tends to reflect stability in the local community.

As is often the case in a small town, Mead doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
