People Are Leaving Denver - Here’s What's Breaking Colorado!

Video Description

People Are Leaving Denver — Here’s What's Breaking Colorado! For nearly two decades, Colorado rode one of the strongest migration booms in the country. People came for jobs, lifestyle, and opportunity. That era is over — and the data is no longer subtle about it. In this video, I break down what’s actually happening beneath the headlines: why in-migration has collapsed, why moving-truck data is flashing warning signs, and why Denver and Boulder are bleeding people while outer counties grow. This isn’t random. It’s math, housing, and cost-of-living pressure colliding all at once. We’ll talk about the lock-in effect freezing homeowners in place, inventory rising without relief, rents staying stubbornly high, and why Colorado has quietly become one of the hardest states in America for middle-income families to survive. Teachers, nurses, trades, and first responders are leaving — replaced by higher-earning remote workers — creating a barbell economy with fewer people in the middle. I’ll also address the vibe shift: crime data improving while perception lags, downtown fatigue, homelessness, political burnout, and how remote work (and return-to-office mandates) are accelerating decisions people were already considering. Finally, we look forward. Where people are going. What happens if this trend continues. And what actually needs to change if Colorado wants to remain a place for families, workers, and long-term stability — not just tourists and top-end earners. No hype. No sugarcoating. Just the data, the implications, and the uncomfortable crossroads Colorado is standing at right now. If you live here, are thinking about moving here, or are wondering why this feels different than five years ago — this one matters. .
