I'm from Longmont 30 minutes away. I don't have specific answers to your questions.

I can tell you the front range in CO has fairly expensive living costs. Natural beauty, mountain sports, healthy living, public lands and quality of life are the big attractions along the front range.

Check the forums on city-data.com you'll find lots of demographic info and input from locals.

Good luck with your decision making!
