For Colorado Mountain Towns, the Workforce May Never Be the Same
Hours cut. Services limited. How the housing crunch is affecting businesses in Ouray and other Colorado mountain communities.
Mountain towns throughout Colorado are bustling more than ever. Since the pandemic, as more companies allow employees to work remotely, people have been relocating without forfeiting high-end salaries, and second homeowners have started extending their stays. That increased demand is driving up housing prices, which jumped 20 to 40 percent just last year, according to research commissioned by the Colorado Association of Ski Towns and Northwest Colorado Council of Governments. The “Mountain Migration” report found that an ongoing concern around affordable housing in these towns is tipping over to a crisis. Housing was already a significant cost burden for many locals, and now even more are finding themselves priced out of town. Workforces for restaurants, bus lines, and shops are dwindling.
