Counting Sheep... I Mean, People: Here's the Lowdown
The Official Tally: According to the 2020 census, Denver's population sits at a cool 715,522. That's a fancy way of saying there are enough folks to form a pretty epic game of sardines in, well, anywhere.
But Wait, There's More (People)! Now, here's where things get interesting. Denver's the heart of a much bigger metropolitan area, including cities like Aurora and Lakewood. If you add all those lovely people together, you're looking at a whopping 2.9 million strong. That's almost enough people to fill every stadium at a Mile High Miracle (simultaneously, mind you, that would be...something).
QuickTip: Copy useful snippets to a notes app.
So, How Many People Are There, Really?
The Moving Target: The truth is, Denver's population is constantly on the move, just like those adorable little scooters zipping around town. Estimates suggest the city itself might be hovering around 716,234 as of July 2024, but hey, that number could change faster than you can say "snowpocalypse" (although hopefully not that fast).
The Big Takeaway: There's a whole lotta people in Denver, and the surrounding metro area. Enough to make for a vibrant city with something for everyone.
QuickTip: Every section builds on the last.
Fun Fact:
Did you know that if everyone in Denver held hands, they'd create a human chain that would stretch all the way to...well, that depends on how many people showed up!
