Education
Broomfield’s location and highway network provide efficient access to the Denver metro area’s comprehensive educational resources. Broomfield’s companies and their employees utilize a diverse mix of top-ranked universities, community colleges, and public schools. Over 35 percent of the Denver Metropolitan area’s population has completed at least four years of college. In the northwest quadrant of the Metropolitan area, including Broomfield and Boulder Counties, that number approaches 50 percent. This is one of the highest percentages of high educational achievement in any metropolitan area in the country.
