Despite being unincorporated, Clifton has its own identity and a close-knit community spirit, supported by local businesses and organizations.
Over the years, Clifton has seen steady growth, transitioning from its rural roots to a more suburban character.

The nearby Colorado River adds to the region’s geographical appeal, offering both recreational opportunities and a vital water source for agriculture.
The area's geography also influences the local economy, with agriculture playing a significant role. The surrounding land is conducive to fruit orchards, particularly peaches, which are a staple of the local agricultural output. Vineyards and wineries have also become prominent in the region, contributing to Clifton's growing reputation as a part of Colorado's Wine Country.
