Best In Colorado Real Estate™: Boulder

Boulder County lost 965 households to migration between 2022 and 2023 — the largest net outflow among Colorado counties with bidirectional data. This isn’t a temporary dip; it’s a structural signal that affordability is now a migration filter. The data comes directly from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, Statistics of Income Migration Data, county-to-county inflows, 2022-23. https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-11-06-boulder-mig-net-total But that’s not the point: the point is that Boulder is no longer a net destination, even as its economy remains strong. What does this mean for the next five years?
