Denver's always been a welcoming city, but lately, it seems we've been rolling out the red carpet for a whole new group of folks. That's right, migrants! We're talking folks from all over, bringing their cultures, dreams, and maybe a little bit of salsa (because who doesn't love salsa?). But seriously, how many newcomers are we talking about here? Buckle up, because it's a doozy.

The Great Migration: By the Numbers
Tip: Context builds as you keep reading.
News outlets are throwing around numbers like confetti at a parade. Here's the lowdown:
Tip: Look out for transitions like ‘however’ or ‘but’.
- The Big Shazam: Estimates suggest around 40,000 migrants have arrived in Denver since late 2022. That's more people than you'd see at a Broncos game on a good day (sorry Raiders fans).
- Here to Stay...Maybe? The city's been busy buying one-way bus tickets for about half those folks. But hey, some people just love Denver that much!
- Schools Out for Summer...and New Students? Over 15,000 migrant students have enrolled in Denver schools. That's a lot of new faces in the classroom, but also a chance to learn about different cultures (and maybe brush up on your Spanish).
Is Denver Being overrun by Migrants? Don't be Ridiculous!
QuickTip: Reading regularly builds stronger recall.

Okay, maybe "overrun" is a strong word. But there have definitely been some growing pains. Finding an apartment is harder than explaining offside to your significant other, and some social services are feeling the strain. But hey, Denver's a resourceful bunch. We're figuring things out, and who knows, maybe these new neighbors will bring some fresh ideas to the table.
