Denver has seen
tremendous change in recent years as a steady influx of people from around the country and world have come to this vibrant front range city looking for adventure and opportunity.
Denver’s estimated population was over 716,000 in 2020. The city’s population is about 27.9 % Latino/Hispanic (predominately Mexican American) and 10% Black/African American; 24.4% of the population speaks a language other than English at home.
Denver’s diversity continues to grow alongside its population. Around the city, you will find neighborhoods as disparate as the Highlands with its hipster breweries and luxury condominiums; Athmar Park where you can get an authentic Vietnamese Bahn
Mi; Five Points, a historically African American neighborhood; and Montbello, home to one of Denver’s several predominantly Spanish-speaking communities. In addition, Denver is home to thousands of refugees from around the world, boasts a vibrant
LGBTQ community, and, as the state capitol, is the state’s center of political discourse and activism.
Denver is also home to many of our residents and attendings, who live in a wide variety of diverse neighborhoods. With 300 days of sunshine each year, our residents are often found hiking and rock climbing in one of the many nearby state parks, attending
concerts at Red Rocks Amphitheater, cheering at Rockies baseball games, skiing in Breckenridge, or enjoying one of Denver’s many breweries.
Residents also enjoy Denver’s arts and culture, including the Denver Art Museum, the Denver Center for the Performing, and a blossoming food scene. With unbeatable metropolitan amenities nestled in a striking Western landscape, the Mile High City
certainly has something for everyone.
