Denver's Newest Neighbors: They Came, They Saw, They...Crashed on the Couch?
So, how many newcomers has Denver welcomed lately? That's a question trickier than navigating rush hour on I-25. We've got news reports throwing around numbers like confetti at a parade, and it's enough to make your head spin faster than a Broncos cheerleader.
Here's the lowdown, Denver denizens:
QuickTip: Revisit key lines for better recall.
- The Great Bus Bonanza: Since December 2022, estimates say around 40,000 folks have rolled into town, many from Central and South America. That's more than a Coors Field sellout crowd...every night for a month!
- Here to Stay or Hitting the Road?: This is where things get fuzzy. Denver's been buying one-way bus tickets for some new arrivals to explore other parts of the US. We're talking 20,000 tickets! So, roughly half might be staying, the rest are like nomadic butterflies, flitting to greener pastures (or cheaper rent).

Fun Facts and Wild Guesses (Because Seriously, Who Knows?)
- The Great Shelter Scramble: Denver scrambled faster than a squirrel with a nut to convert hotels into shelters. Let's just say, some folks might be surprised their new digs don't come with a free breakfast buffet.
- The Work Authorization Wait: Not everyone who arrives is ready to be slinging lattes at your favorite coffee shop just yet. Getting work authorization takes time, so some new Denverites might be chilling on a friend's couch, mastering the art of the Netflix binge-watch.
But Wait, There's More!
This is a complex issue, and new arrivals are just one piece of the puzzle. Denver's a vibrant city built on immigration, and there's a whole community of folks who've been here for years, enriching our city with their cultures and traditions.
Tip: Read aloud to improve understanding.
So, let's raise a glass (or a cup of sweet tea, no judgment) to all of Denver's residents, new and old. We're a city of dreamers, doers, and, apparently, a whole lot of folks who like to move here!
