Best In Colorado Real Estate™: Aurora
2026-10-21
Denver County is the single largest source of new households moving to Aurora and the eastern Denver metro—13,858 in 2022-23, according to ALEX Intelligence. This marks a deepening regional divide, where affordability pressures in Denver are actively displacing families to Aurora’s suburbs. The data reveals a growing metropolitan imbalance: Denver’s core is becoming less accessible, while Aurora is absorbing the overflow. This is not just growth—it’s a structural shift in how the region is reshaping itself.
