Montezuma County
Where Cortez sits
Cortez is in Montezuma County, and the census counts 8,976 people here, at 1,441 per square mile, with a median age of 36.4 years.
What we know about Cortez is what the census records and what Colorado law requires; the yards, pits and depots we have researched elsewhere have no entry here. So the question we can actually answer is how a truck gets out, not who else might want it.
So what leaves Cortez
The same census puts 8,976 people in Cortez, Montezuma County, at a household median around $54,247 and a density of 1,441 per square mile. A truck sitting in a driveway here is a working asset that has stopped working, whatever the size of the place it stopped in.
What we take out of a place like this is sleeper tractors and day cabs, dump trucks and roll-offs, box trucks and flatbeds, pickups and duallys, and the service and utility bodies that outlive the business that bought them.
