FREDERICK DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE

POPULATION TRENDS AND CHARACTERISTICS

Colorado's population has grown significantly during the early 1990's. In fact, Colorado ranks as
the fourth most rapidly growing state in the nation. Although experts predict Colorado's growth
will continue at a slower rate in future years, it is still expected to grow at twice the national
average.

The bulk of the State's rise in population has occurred in the Front Range. Between 1990 and
1994, Weld County and the Town of Frederick grew 9.1 % and 15.6% respectively. The Greeley /
Weld County Economic Development Action Partnership, Inc. predicts that Weld County will
continue to receive a significant share of Colorado's population elevation.
