The Great Denver Migration Mystery: Counting Our Colorful Characters (Legally Dubious or Otherwise)
Ever since Denver rolled out the welcome mat (made of artisanal hemp, natch), there's been a buzz about the number of newcomers gracing our fair city. Some folks are saying it's a population explosion, others a sprinkle of fresh faces. So, how many migrants, both documented and delightfully undocumented, are we talking about?

Here's the lowdown, Denver denizens:
QuickTip: If you skimmed, go back for detail.
The Numbers Game: News sources love throwing around figures like confetti at a quincea�era. We've heard 40,000, 80,000, some articles even claim a million tiny hats have shown up (it's a cultural reference, folks, relax). Truth is, pinning down an exact number is trickier than wrangling a runaway alpaca at a high-altitude rodeo. Why? Because some folks blend in beautifully, others prefer a more, ahem, flamboyant arrival.
The Great Bus Escape: Denver's been playing real-life Tetris with migrants arriving by the busload. While some choose to stay and add their unique spice to the city, others hightail it to greener pastures (or perhaps purple mountains majesties?). So, that initial arrival number gets a bit fuzzy.
The Legal Limbo: Tracking folks who may not be here with a permission slip is, well, tricky. Let's just say some folks haven't gotten the memo on the official paperwork.
But hey, here's the good news, Denver: our city's always thrived on a vibrant mix of cultures and backgrounds. Whether someone got here by plane, train, or a particularly enthusiastic llama caravan, they add something special to our Mile High magic.
Tip: Pause whenever something stands out.
