But wait, there's more!
Denver's like a growing family – messy but lovable. There are different ways to define the area, depending on who you ask (and how many counties they feel like counting). For the truly curious, here's a sneak peek at the family tree:
- The Denver-Aurora-Lakewood Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA): This is the official fam, with a headcount of 2.96 million. Think of it as the close cousins who share Thanksgiving dinner.
- The Denver-Aurora, CO Combined Statistical Area (CSA): This is the extended fam, stretching out to include a few more counties, bringing the total to 3.6 million. Think of them as the second cousins you see at weddings but wouldn't recognize at the grocery store.
- The 18-county Front Range Urban Corridor: This is the whole dang shebang, encompassing Denver and stretching all the way to Colorado Springs. Here, the population explodes to a whopping 5 million. Think of it as the crazy aunt who shows up with a van full of unexpected relatives.
