nocommonsense, do you consider “Hispanic” a minority? [/quote]

What are you talking about? Hispanics are the majority here too in SD 🙂 No I don’t consider them a minority. I was thinking of asians.

Acc. to the my link above, in 2008, Denver County had:

50.9% Cauc (C)
34.3% Hisp (H)
10.0% Black (B)
3.4% Asian (A)
1.4% Native Am. (NA)
.2% Haw/Pac Is (PI)

Acc. to http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/06/06073.html SD County in 2008 had VERY SIMILAR demographics as Denver County:

50.9% C
30.9% H
10.3% A
5.5% B
1.0% NA
.5% PI

Since Denver is a “metro area” comprised of four counties, I will add in some more stats.

Arapahoe County (home of high-paying jobs at the “Tech Cntr”) had:

66.0% C
17.7% H
9.8% B
4.5% A
.8% NA
.2% PI

Jefferson County had:

79.9% C
14.2% H
2.6% A
1.6% B
1.0% NA
.2 PI

Adams County had:

56.1% C
35.6% H
3.5% B
3.3% A
1.4% NA
.2 PI

Acc. to http://www.denverpost.com/business/ci_4333236, Weld County, CO had the HIGHEST FORECLOSURE RATE in the nation in 2006. “Greeley” (county seat) is a “bedroom community” (wheat field, stockyard and giant grasshopper territory with a smattering of oil rigs back in my day) located 65+ miles NE of Denver. Thousands of buyers moved there in recent years and attempted to commute to work to Denver (sound like RIV CO here, folks?).

FWIW, here are the demos for Weld County:

68.9% C
27.4% H
1.3% A
1.1% B
1.0% AI
.2 PI

Acc. to the 2008 Zillow map, posted earlier in this thread, Jefferson County had the two most stable homeowner zips (both located in the foothills of the Rockies) followed by Denver County for the 3rd and 4th most stable-homeowner zip (both urban core zips).

I just wanted to contribute to dispel any misconceptions about CO being percieved as “lacking in diversity.” nocommonsense, A HIGHER PERCENTAGE of Denver County and Adams County’s population is Hispanic than SD County’s population, but there are definitely fewer Asians in CO than here.

Bear in mind that CO’s ENTIRE POPULATION for 2008 was just over 5.5 million.

My excellent friend. Denver is the most exceptional reperesentation of America there is.

To the south you have Colorado Springs… Small population of right wing religious gun tottin’ conservatives…

To the North, Boulder… Nano Nano Mork and Mindy spaced out pot smoking tree hugging liberals…

And in between it all… and representative of the population of the US… Good ole moderate tolerant Denver.

And it is not white America like some ppl think… Hell there is even mafia there!

But seriously… Denver is a good place to live but you are a slave to the I25 and I originally got out because I never thought I could afford a home there. Remember Denver had a housing market crash shortly before the last one.

Also as for the skiing… It Sucks! Try getting back from the slopes on the I70 during the weekend. 4 hour trip minimum.

Plently of good Mexican food. Downtown is fun. And you have to eat at Carboni’s on 38th Ave. Best Italian sandwich shop in the world. Two little old married Calabresi run it and yell at each other constantly. I would go eat there just to watch them bounce of each other.

Have a good trip to Denver and good luck!
