2025 By the numbers

Weld County Government positively impacts residents every day by providing critical services. We strive to provide these efficiently and in the best manner possible, and that effort has been recently recognized at the national level. In 2025, Weld County Government took home three Achievement Awards from the National Association of Counties:

  • Weld County Department of Human Services: Interstate Compact on Placement of Children
  • Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment: Heart of Weld (Diabetes Prevention Program)
  • Weld County Department of Public Works: Drones help fight noxious weeds

Of course, the more than 1,900 employees who work for Weld County Government don't do what they do for awards; they do it to provide important services to residents. The impact of this effort can be seen in the statistics below:
