Denver in 2023: A Year of More People Than You Can Shake a Stick At (Unless It's Really Short)
Let's face it, Denver's been booming for a while now. But 2023? Hold onto your cowboy hats, folks, because this year was a doozy! We saw more new arrivals than a Broncos game with free chicken wings (and that's saying something).

| How Many Immigrants Came To Denver In 2023 |
So, how many newcomers are we talking about?
Well, buckle up. Estimates say over 35,400 migrants moseyed on into the Mile High City in 2023. That's more people than could fit into, well, a whole lot of Coors Field bleachers.
Denver became the unofficial "Welcome Wagon" of the West, with more migrants per capita than any other major city that isn't practically south of the border itself.
Tip: Reading with intent makes content stick.
Where did everyone come from?
This wasn't your average tourist influx. Many migrants hailed from Venezuela, seeking a new life and a place where the coffee wasn't rationed (probably).
Hold on, migrants? Isn't that different from immigrants?
Technically, yes. Migrants are people on the move, immigrants are those who stay and settle permanently. But for the sake of this very important (and slightly silly) conversation, let's just say Denver got a whole lot more interesting in 2023.
Tip: Don’t just glance — focus.
So, what's the big deal?
It was a big change, that's for sure. The city scrambled to provide shelter, food, and other essentials. Imagine trying to find a decent apartment in Denver with 35,000 extra people looking! Let's just say the housing market got hotter than a habanero on a grill.
But hey, Denver's a resilient bunch. We embraced the newcomers, and the city's vibrant culture got even more vibrant.
Tip: Remember, the small details add value.
