Thousands more families will pour into Colorado over the next two decades than experts previously thought, with the state's population spiking to 7.156 million by 2030, according to a forecast unveiled Wednesday by the state demographer's office.
"The majority of that number are coming to the Front Range," demographer Cindy DeGroen said. She notes that the fastest-growing areas will include the Western Slope and Weld County. (Denver Post)
