The Denver Economy
Why are so many people attracted to Denver? Its economy beats out many other major metropolitan areas. The 10 counties in the Denver-Aurora-Lakewood Metropolitan Area contribute almost 3 million residents and over 21,000 employer firms. Denver County boasts 715,000 residents with a median household income over $70,000. Big firms, small companies, and individual employers in diverse sectors add to the vibrant economy in Denver.
How’s the Weather?
Denver’s winters are usually quite mild, with a comfortable average daily high of 45 degrees; even 60 degree days are quite possible. The snow doesn’t stick around long in Denver, so golf courses and other outdoor venues, like cafes, can stay open year-round.
You can enjoy low humidity, which creates gorgeous, sunny days and comfortably cool evenings in a Denver summer. In late summer, most days average at a comfortable 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Because of Denver’s altitude, 5,280 feet above sea level, the Mile High City enjoys mild weather year-round.
