MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 12, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Councilmembers
THROUGH: Kelly DiMartino, City Manager

FROM: Joanne Cech, Fiscal Recovery Manager

SUBJECT: Updated Community Profile: Metrics by Council District
In response to questions about the Fort Collins Community Profile shared with Council in
August, staff reviewed and updated the report to fix errors and more accurately reflect Council
district makeup.
The goal of these metrics is to provide a better understanding of the unique profile of Council
Districts, and how they compare to the demographic makeup of Fort Collins as a whole. Metrics
in the report include population size, income level, educational attainment, housing and poverty
rates. Please note the footnotes in the report, as they explain important details regarding the
data.
Updates:
Staff made minor formatting changes to the report along with the updates below.
Corrected the Percent Renter-Occupied percentages: The original report had an error that
listed ownership rates rather than rentership rates.
DocuSign Envelope ID: FC26550D-FEFD-4E9F-B4F1-B4C837392477
Changed disability information: The percent of population with a disability included in the
original report was not accurate, and unfortunately accurate information of the percentage of
population with a disability is not available at the district level due to privacy restrictions.
However, the number of households reporting at least one member with a disability is available
at a district level, so that variable is now provided for each district, giving an overview of
disability rates within the City.
Updated versions of this report will be provided after elections at the beginning of each new
Council term. Future versions of the report may include additional data sources, although not all
metrics are updated on the same cadence. Please let us know if you have any questions or
feedback.
