Denver Population Grows 10 Percent over the last decadeThe city of Denver’s population grew by 56,654 people over the last decade, according to a recent article in the Denver Business Journal on new U.S. Census Bureau numbers. Between 2000 and 2009, Denver’s population grew to 610,345, a 10.2 percent increase. This makes Denver the 24th largest city in the country. Other fast-growing Colorado cities include Thornton with a whopping 42.6 growth rate, and Aurora with a 17.4 percent growth rate. The three largest cities in the country continue to be New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, respectively.

Denver’s growth spurt reflects a new trend of slowing suburban growth, especially during the the recession in the latter part of the decade. People are apparently less mobile and are sticking to more urban areas.
