This measure represents the number of Full Time Equivalents (FTE) employed by Arapahoe County for every 1,000 residents.
Reflects the ability of Arapahoe County Government to provide efficient and effective services to Arapahoe County residents.
Medium – The County is able hire additional employees to meet the needs of residents, but ultimately has little control over the rate of population growth in Arapahoe County or the availability of funds to hire additional employees.
Arapahoe County is growing rapidly, increasing the demand for County services. From 2022 to 2023, the ratio of employees to residents experienced its greatest jump since tracking of this measure began increasing from 3.59 to 3.89.
Although this growth was anticipated due to the addition of an Arapahoe County Public Health Department, it does result in a red status for this measure.
