Colorado is a western state
in the central part of the country. Colorado is best known as the
home of the highest peaks of the Rocky Mountains, which dominate the
western half of the state; eastern Colorado is mostly High Plains
(prairie) and sparsely populated.
The state capital and largest city is Denver, Colorado; the Denver-Aurora
metropolitan area contains over half of the state's population (2.5
million out of 4.3 million). The state was named after the Spanish
word "Colorado" which means "reddish colored"
that presumably refers to the red sandstone formations in the area
or reddish brown color of the Colorado River.

People of Colorado
Population
The 2000 Census reported Colorado's population as 4,301,261 [3],
and the state's 2004 population is estimated to be 4,601,403 [4].
Between 1990 and 2004, Colorado's population grew by 39.7%, a growth
rate outpaced only by Nevada and Arizona's. According to estimates
made in 2004, Colorado's population will increase to 7,150,000 by
2030 [5]. The largest increases are expected along the Front Range,
especially in the Denver-Aurora metropolitan area.
As of 2004, 441,000 foreign-born persons (9.7% of the population)
live in the state, including an estimated 144,000 illegal aliens
(3.1% of the state population).
Race and ancestry
The racial makeup of the state and comparison to the prior census:
Census year: 2000 1990
White 82.8% 88.2%
Black 3.8% 4.0%
Asian 2.2% 1.8%
Native American 1.0% 0.8%
Other race 7.3% 5.1%
Mixed race 2.8% *
White, non-Hispanic 74.5% 80.7%
Hispanic‡ 17.1% 12.9%
Notes:
* Not available; mixed race was first reported in the census of
2000.
‡ Hispanics may be of any race and are included in applicable
race categories.
Colorado's Hispanic presence is one of the USA's largest—only
five states have more Hispanics (per capita). Denver and some other
areas have significant Mexican populations, while southern Colorado
has a large number of Hispanos, the descendants of early New Mexican
settlers of colonial Spanish origin.
According to the 2000 Census, the largest ancestry groups in Colorado
are German (22%), Irish (12.2%), and English (12%). Persons reporting
German ancestry are the largest group in the state and are especially
strong in the Front Range and eastern Plains. People of British
extraction are the largest group in the western Rocky Mountains.
