Colorado’s population rose by only 30,551 in the 12 months through July 1, 2021, the smallest annual increase in three decades. So, no, the state wasn't seeing an influx of remote workers.
True or false? Colorado attracted a disproportionate number of remote workers leaving behind crowded apartment blocks in San Francisco and New York, resulting in the state’s population surging during the pandemic.
Aside from the extra deaths tied to the COVID-19 virus, the big reason for the smallish gain was that net migration, the sum of those leaving versus those coming in, fell significantly last year to 15,477. It was the weakest net migration number since about 2005 and a clear indicator that a wave of remote workers didn’t overwhelm the state.
International migration, already under pressure because of more restrictive policies, slowed sharply during the pandemic, so that was one factor. But Colorado simply didn’t do as well as in past years in drawing new people from other states. Denver, Boulder, Jefferson, Arapahoe and Adams all saw more people leave than come in. It was bad enough to push Boulder, Denver and Jefferson counties to population losses.
