What is the Elevation of my Delta County, CO Home?

What is the Elevation of my Delta County, CO Home?

I could make it simple and say...there's an app for that, ( and there is and I'll talk about that later ) but I'm going to provide you with the information instead. To make it easy, I will provide the elevation of the different communities in Delta County, Colorado. You will have to adjust up or down, depending on where you are located in relation to your town.

Elevation is generally measured in feet. When talking about the elevation of a town or place, sea level is consider the starting point and elevation is measured upward from that point. 

What is the Elevation of my Delta County, CO Home?Here are the different elevations of the towns in Delta County:

Cedaredge is 6,230 above sea level. 

Austin is 5,043 above sea level.

Eckert is 5,568 feet high.

Cory is 5,187 feet.

Delta is 4,953 feet above sea level.

Hotchkiss is 5,331 feet high.

Crawford is the highest community at 6,558 feet above sea level. 

Paonia is 5,682 feet above sea level. 

You can more accurately determine the elevation of your home by downloading an app to your phone. There are many out there and you will want to see which one works best for you.

Here are some suggestions based upon a web search:

My Altitude will tell you more than altitude. It will also give you the barometric pressure and the boiling point of water. This is only available for the IPhone. Users have given this one high marks. Here is a link to check out more altitude apps for the Iphone.

Get Altitude is available for Android users. This one is ranked four out of five stars. Here's a link to more apps that include other outdoor fun features beside reading altitude. Most of these are available for Android, Blackberry and the IPhone. 

I've lived on Colorado's Western Slope for over 24 years. I love this area and all it has to offer, and I enjoy sharing what I know about my home. As a REALTOR®, I also love to share my expertise in this area as well. If you need any real estate information for Montrose County, or Delta County, Colorado...please give me a call.

Down here we have to have elevation certificates if the home is in a flood zone. That doesn't apply to only coastal properties but also homes on lakes and ponds.

Well, Kwee, we do still have those areas where a local creek or river could flood even thought the location is well about sea level.

Hi, Dagney....even though we live so high up, it doesn't mean we don't have creeks and rivers that won't flood us. It can happen.

I grew up in the midwest, Larry. I know what you mean. I didn't worry about elevation then, either.
