ProviderColorado DOLA (Dept of Local Affairs), official state account
TypeArcGIS REST FeatureServer
Noteverified 274 records (close to ~272 expected). No field distinguishes home-rule vs. statutory status — this file's own governance-relevant distinction — which would need to be cross-referenced against DOLA's Local Government Information System (dola.colorado.gov/dlg_lgis_ui_pu/publicMunicipalities.jsf), a web UI with no confirmed machine-readable API. A sibling non-dissolved layer on the same server returns 1,911 (an annexation-history layer with many polygons per city) — use the dissolved layer above instead.

Count21 per the Colorado BOCES Association (coloradoboces.org, which states "twenty-one (21) BOCES" and lists member BOCES); Wikipedia's "List of Colorado BOCES" claims 22 — an unresolved discrepancy, with the association's own figure treated as more authoritative. CDE's own district-maps page (cde.state.co.us) exists but wasn't confirmed to expose an API.

Recommended SourceUS Census Bureau Population Estimates Program (PEP) — https://api.census.gov/data/{year}/pep/population — joins on the county FIPS from the counties source above. That source's own `TOTALPOP` field (2020 Census vintage) works as a quicker fallback.
