Best In Colorado Real Estate™: Denver

Denver’s inbound migration is overwhelmingly regional — 39.3% of new households come from just three counties: Arapahoe, Adams, and Boulder. This concentration reveals a self-reinforcing growth engine, not a national influx. The data comes directly from ALEX Intelligence’s analysis of IRS migration flows, 2022–23. This post is grounded entirely in that source: https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-10-29-denver-mig-county-top3. What does this mean for long-term housing demand and affordability in the core?
