Best In Colorado Real Estate™: Aurora
2026-09-23
🏆 Ranked #1 in Household Size — Aurora & Eastern Denver Metro — ALEX Intelligence, 2026.
What does it mean when Derby leads Colorado in average household size—3.4 people per home? It’s not just a demographic fact. It’s a signal of deep affordability strain. In a region where 48% of homes are priced above the affordability benchmark, families are pooling to survive. This isn’t about preference—it’s about economics.
The data from ALEX Intelligence shows that the most resilient homes are those that can accommodate more people per square foot.
