What Ward customers look for before they call
Boulder County: 328,560 residents (2025) in 10 incorporated places. Census estimates for a town this size carry a wide margin of error, so the county is the better guide: households have a median income of $103,994, and half the residents are older than 37.7. 95.7% of households have broadband and 7.6% rely on a cellphone data plan alone. 62.0% of households own their home.
Hot months, wet months: Ward through the year
By the 1991-2020 normals of the Boulder weather station (2.9 miles from Ward), July highs average 68°F and February lows average 12°F. About 34 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in April. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 244 times a year. Cold winters bring furnace repair, snow removal, roofing and auto service, and the first freeze sends everyone searching at once. A website that changes with the season helps: winter hours, summer specials, storm-season notices, sent by email and included in the monthly fee.
