Abstract: Briefly describes the characteristics of 58 recreation subdivisions in Chaffee, Custer, Fremont, Huerfano, Lake, Las Animas, and Pueblo Counties in Colorado platted between 1967 and 1972, as well as characteristics of lot owners. The main emphasis of the study was on a sample mail survey of lot owners. The survey indicated that inmigration and housing construction have been low. About 42 percent of sample lot owners visited their properties in 1973, each staying an average of 3 weeks. Total expenditures in the project area by all 328 sample lot owners were $118,637 in 1973, or $362 per owner.
