This area does have a higher percentage of the population between 15-24 years old which could indicate a college population in this area. Many college students are included in the count, but do not typically make the best patient base for the area. Greeley has a daytime employee population of 29,830 versus a permanent population of 54,602 meaning the daytime employee population is 54.6% of the permanent population living in the area and 48.0% of the total daytime population. Because the daytime employee population is a lower percentage of the daytime population, the employee population does not have as much influence on the overall residential population. A practice in this 2 mile radius could greatly benefit with early or late hours and weekend times. This is a significant daytime employee population that has a positive impact on the overall numbers.

In this area, 20.7% of the population either holds a bachelor's degree or higher educational degree. Greeley is lower than the state and US average.
