Timnath, CO: what USGS's seismic model says

Timnath carries Seismic Design Category B under USGS's ASCE 7-16 model. Low seismic hazard. Code requires basic seismic detailing (bracing, connections) but no special structural system restrictions. Rank it against the rest of the country and Timnath sits at the 54th percentile for seismic hazard among 4,875 US cities.

Where Timnath sits in Colorado

The raw figures: peak ground acceleration 0.091g, short-period spectral response 0.174g, 1-second spectral response 0.053g. Among 79 Colorado cities in this dataset, Timnath ranks 63 for seismic hazard, the 21th percentile within the state. About 10,848 people live in Timnath, Colorado.

Bracing and bolting: the actual cost

Outside California, no state-level retrofit grant equivalent to Brace + Bolt could be found for Colorado. A typical retrofit still runs $5,000-$10,000 nationally, about $7,000 for a common single-family job.

Insuring against this, not just retrofitting

Outside California, earthquake coverage is typically sold as an endorsement added to a standard homeowners policy, not a separate product - worth asking about directly when getting a home-insurance quote for a Timnath address.
