Oh good, Colorado isn't on that list. We're full anyways, we've got enough Californians here driving up housing prices already.

- onlyrealcuzzo 5y ago> We're full anyways > As a result of these land conditions, there are approximately 52 people per square mile (19.9 per square kilometer) and that makes Colorado only the 37th biggest state in terms of population density.

- b3morales 5y agoColorado isn't a small state, but is that "raw" square miles, or square miles accounting for reserved land and natural features that make it uninhabitable?
- onlyrealcuzzo 5y agoColorado is not running out of room. Even if 80% of the state is mountains (it's not) - 260 people per square mile is STILL nothing. Massachusetts has 800+ people per square mile, and Massachusetts isn't "full".
- jkmcf 5y agoIf you saw Colorado sprawl, you'd say it's nigh impossible to increase the density, but that's an American problem in general. More problematic is we are all out of water. Water rights and laws here means you might own the land but not the water (nor anything else under the shitty topsoil), if there even is water. Lots of land for sale with no mention of water.
- bkjelden 5y agoEh, I feel like Colorado draws more people from the east coast than from California. Winters here scare off a lot of lifelong Californians, but they will be a piece of cake for anyone coming from the northeast.
