Census has released new July 2023 population estimates.

Focusing initially on resort micropolitans, I noticed Edwards' population has declined 3 straight years, Breckenridge 2 and Durango down in most recent estimate. The cost of housing is a factor. But Steamboat Springs and Montrose are still growing.

Fairly small declines and estimates may have errors but fwiw.

Links to the micropolitan and metropolitan tables can be found in General US forum if you want the specific numbers or want to look up other places.

Among metros, Boulder is estimated down for 3 straight years. Denver metro breaks 3 million mark. Denver CMSA almost to 3.7 mil.

Most CO places are up. Overall yr to yr US population growth is increasing in raw terms.

Not surprised about the resort towns. West slope is continuing to grow. My neighbors in GJ are from the front range and California.

Fort Morgan creeping slightly closer to being a 30k metro.

Colorado Springs metro growing by 3-5k per year recently.

Denver metro grew by 7-8k for 2 years but up to 19k in most recently measured period.

Fort Collins -Loveland metro also in the +3-5k per year growth range. Greeley 8-10k gain each year.

Grand Junction metro, up 1000 to 1500 per year.

Note that the census defined "metro areas" or MSAs for CO Springs includes all of El Paso County, for Ft. Collins-Loveland includes all of Larimer County, and for Greeley is all of Weld County (with 80% of the growth in Weld happening in the SW part of the county which is basically the NE Denver metro.

I found this on the internet but the more I think about it the more I think it is not accurate. All over town we have more housing developments then I have seen in my entire life and the houses sell fast. There is no way Pueblo's population is stagnate in 2023.

This chart seems about right for GJ. Lots of new apartments and homes are selling pretty fast.

Sure there is, the death rate slightly exceeds the birth rate and in migration is low enough to require new housing without the industry growth to bring in thousands of new jobs. Demographically, 20-30 and over 50 are the largest segments of the population. For every kid one of the younger generation brings into the mix and ever new resident that arrives, one of the older generation is passing on.

I'm sure you know all this, but keep in mind that one person passing does not automatically free up housing to be re-occupied and even when housing does come to market, new residents may not want to purchase the older, factory worker style of housing that may become available. Central Pueblo also has a large number of historic neighborhoods. I'm not sure what sort of limitations to modification these historic designations place on those properties, but not everyone wants to live in historic housing. Especially if it is limited in what updates can be done to them.
