Colorado Severe Weather Hazard Profile

Climate-Adjusted Hazard Data · Model Version 1.0

Overview

Colorado's Front Range is part of the US hail corridor, with the Denver-Colorado Springs metro area experiencing some of the highest hail frequencies in the nation. NOAA SPC data and IBHS research show Colorado consistently ranks in the top 5 states for hail-related insured losses. Severe thunderstorm winds and occasional tornadoes occur east of the Continental Divide.

Notable Historical Events

12017 Denver hailstorm — $2.3B insured losses, most costly CO hail event
22023 Denver metro hail — significant roof and vehicle damage
32008 Windsor EF3 tornado — one of the strongest CO tornadoes on record

Hazard Scoring Approach

CivilSense computes a Climate-Adjusted Hazard Score (0–10) for severe weather hazard at any US address. The score is composed of weighted sub-components derived from federal data sources and peer-reviewed research. All score components are transparent and returned in API responses.

These are hazard scores — physical intensity likelihood only. They do not include property exposure or vulnerability data. We never call a hazard score a risk score. See the full methodology for scoring details.
