Northern Colorado Market
We were pleased to be visited by District Governor, George McIlvaine. He was accompanied by Cheyenne’s incoming president Bob Womack. We were also visited by Stan Barber and Bill Schaffter.
This week, we are pleased to welcome the Rotary Group Study Exchange Team from New Zealand. Please make them welcome to our community. I personally have an issue to settle with some New Zealand sheep shearers, but that’s another story.
PROGRAM
Once again, a great program was presented by one of our own, Dave Thiemann. Dave is the newly named publisher of Custom Publishing Division of the Northern Colorado Communications Group. Dave gave us a Power Point presentation about the market in Northern Colorado. He pointed out the newspaper serves two customers; the reader and the advertiser. To that end the newspaper does a separate market analysis on each area of Northern Colorado each year.
Dave noted that the media landscape is changing dramatically. He also pointed out that Weld County is growing faster than Larimer County, and although the median household income (MHI) is greater for Larimer County than Weld County, the gap is narrowing. Weld County’s population is 30% Hispanic; whereas Larimer County’s Hispanic population is less than 10%.
Dave also noted that the Windsor demographics show a very affluent population; however the irony is that the preferred shopping for Windsor folks is still Wal-Mart. Other statistics showed: women constitute 56% of the Windsor population. 84% of Windsor residents own their own homes. 66% are married, and 30 % have four-year college degrees or better. Four out of ten people have lived here less than four years.
QUIZ ANSWER
In the Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939) Maureen O’Hara played Esmeralda, and the hunchback was speaking to the gargoyle. By the way, do you know the difference between a gargoyle and a grotesque?
NEXT QUESTION
Of Hank Aaron’s 755 home runs, how many were “inside the park” home runs?
