SummaryIn 1990, Colorado was a state of about 3.3 million (U.S. Census Bureau, 2001b). By 2000, Colorado’s population had grown to 4,301,261 (U.S. Census Bureau, 2001b). Colorado’s new residents spurred development in areas once sparsely inhabited. The population of Superior in Boulder County, for instance, shot from 351 to 9,011 residents over the 10-year period (U.S. Census Bureau, 2001a; 2003). Land throughout the state, and especially on the Front Range In 2000, Janna Six and Ramon Ajero reported that “the land encompassed by the Denver Metropolitan area is growing four times faster than its population growth rate”
