The Changing Demographics of Denver's Suburbs

(AI translation below)

The Colorado Demographer's Office is projecting big changes for the demographics of the suburban counties and cities surrounding Denver—even as overall growth for the region is expected to slow.

"Denver’s suburbs will be home to a more ethnically diverse population and a lot more aging Baby Boomers by 2040, even as the metro area’s growth slows from the torrid pace it has kept since the 1990s ," reports John Aguilar to introduce the first story in an occasional series exploring the changes occurring in Denver's suburbs.

The primary narrative presented in this story: minorities arriving and putting down roots around the metropolitan area. Aguilar provides more detail: "In the next 10 years, the [Colorado] demographer’s office pegs expects growth across metro Denver for Latinos at nearly 30% over the next 10 years, Asians at 36% and the Black population at 13%. Population growth among non-Hispanic whites? Just 4%."

In the Denver metro area, Adams County has the most diverse population. "The state demographer’s office projects the county’s Latino population to overtake the white, non-Hispanic population in the coming decade by about 30,000 people — a growth rate of 35% versus 6% for white residents," reports Aguilar. In part of the city of Aurora, 160 languages are spoken in the school district.

Part of the reason so many Latinos are moving to Denver's suburban areas, according to Aguilar: the relentless escalation in Denver’s home prices in the last several years.

In addition to heaps of data, Aguilar also reports the human angle, talking to recent arrivals to the Denver suburbs—all of whom talk about their new homes in terms of opportunities for job and education.

And there is also the large numbers of Baby Boomers moving to the suburbs. "The demographer’s office projects that people ages 80 to 84 will leap in population between now and 2030 by 83.4% — the fastest rate by far of any age bracket in Colorado," according to Aguilar. "All told, the number of 65-and-up residents in Colorado is estimated to grow by 39% by 2030, wildly outpacing any other age group in the state."

丹佛郊区人口结构的变化

科罗拉多州人口学家办公室预测，丹佛周边郊县和城市的人口结构将发生巨大变化，尽管该地区的总体增长预计将放缓。

“到2040年，丹佛郊区将成为种族更加多样化的人口和更多老龄化的婴儿潮一代的家园，尽管大都市区的增长速度从上世纪90年代以来保持的高速增长放缓，”约翰·阿吉拉尔这样报道，这是一个探讨丹佛郊区变化的偶发系列中的第一个故事。

这个故事的主要叙述是：少数民族来到大都市地区并扎根。Aguilar提供了更多的细节：“在未来10年，科罗拉多州人口统计学家办公室pegs预计，未来10年，整个丹佛市的拉丁裔人口将增长近30%，亚裔人口将增长36%，黑人人口将增长13%。非西班牙裔白人的人口增长?只有4%。”

在丹佛都会区，亚当斯县有最多样化的人口。阿吉拉尔说：“国家人口统计办公室预计,在未来十年里,本县的拉美裔人口将超过白人、非拉美裔人口约3万人--增长率为35%,而白人居民的增长率为6%。”在奥罗拉市的部分地区，学区使用160种语言。

根据阿吉拉尔的说法，如此多的拉丁裔移民搬到丹佛郊区的部分原因是：过去几年丹佛房价的持续上涨。

除了大量的数据外，阿吉拉尔还报道了《人类角度》，与最近来到丹佛郊区的人交谈--所有人都谈到了他们的新家在工作和教育方面的机会。

还有大量的婴儿潮一代搬到郊区。阿吉拉尔说：“人口统计学家办公室预计，从现在到2030年，80岁到84岁的人的人口数量将会增加83.4%，这是科罗拉多州所有年龄段中增长最快的。”“总而言之,到2030年,科罗拉多州65岁及以上的居民人数估计将增长39%,大大超过该州任何其他年龄组。”
