Methodology and Sources
This page uses U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts data. Population, housing-unit, building-permit, and employer-establishment figures are reported for the period named next to each statistic. Household, rent, owner-occupancy, and moving-history figures use the Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey period.
Combined Larimer and Weld County totals are simple additions of the two named county figures. They are not a separate Census Bureau regional estimate. This page is a local reference, not a forecast of moving demand or housing costs.
