<br />DRAFT <br /> <br />Chapter 4: Historic and Projected Population and Demographic Trends in <br />Colorado <br /> <br />Author: Jim Westkott, Department of Local Affairs <br /> <br />This Section will summarize and present data on population change in Colorado from <br />1950 to 2000, and on expected change from 2000 to 2030 by river basin. The section will <br />first describe the economic regions of the state and how they relate to river basins. It will <br />next show how past economic and population changes of the economic regions have <br />manifested themselves by river basin. Because of the aging of the baby-boomers of the <br />State and of the Western U. S., new patterns of growth are expected to occur within the <br />state. These too will be translated onto the respective river basins to provide a sense of <br />future growth based on state geography, <br /> <br />5/16/2003 <br /> <br />Page 6 <br />
