What Does Colorado Look Like to the 2010 Census?

Resident Population Data

2010 Census Data on Colorado

Denver ranks about 21st in a recent list of Metropolitan Statistical Areas.  What’s interesting however, is Colorado with just over 5 million residents has less population than the top 9 statistical areas.

Denver residents enjoy all the benefits of a top statistical area, but the low density of the surrounding state of Colorado, and the surrounding low density states of Wyoming, New Mexico, Utah, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Arizona and Nebraska.

As you an see from the links above, Colorado’s growth slowed significantly during the last decade, but it has not stopped and will continue.  Guess what, there is a plan for that growth.  DRCOG has a vision plan for 2035.

Take a few minutes and see what’s in store for us!

Search Engine Optimization and What It Means to Your Property Listing at Kentwood

Posted on January 10, 2011 by Dee & Tom Cryer

We Are Denver Real Estate

As many of you know Kentwood Companies now own www.denverrealestate.com, www.denverhomes.com, and www.homesindenver.com.

Kentwood is working diligently to get to the top of the big three search engines for each of those keywords “Denver real estate”, “Denver homes”, and Homes in Denver”.

As it stands today if you go to www.google.com, www.bing.com, or www.yahoo.com, and type keyword “Denver real estate” in, we are position 1 and page 1 for each of the big 3 search engines.  This is HUGE for our search engine optimization (SEO) efforts and referring traffic to the site to ultimately attain more web exposure for our property listings.

Once again, this is an example of Kentwood taking the lead through perseverance, a planned strategy and investment in what’s obviously the buyer’s path to involvement in the residential real estate market via the internet.
