Today - Overview
• Census 2010
• Who we are, what we do
• Economy
• Population trends
Census 2010
• We are not the US Census
• We work with the Census
• Complete count assistance
• Mapping assistance
• Help with data dissemination
Census 2010
• Short – population count and ACS benchmark
• Important for congressional districting, federal funds allocation
• Approx. $800 annually to Colorado for each response
• Every 1% increase in response rate saves approx. $85 million
Census 2010 Misunderstandings
• The Census is confidential – Even Barack Obama cannot see individual responses
• According to Title 13 of the US Code, truthfully answering all questions on the Census form is mandatory
• The US Census Bureau is not collecting DNA from envelopes
About us: Focus
• Within the Department of Local Affairs (DOLA)
• Provide public information to local governments, citizens, businesses, consultants, nonprofits, etc.
• Outreach, collaboration
• Goal is bottom up/top down
• Unique situation
State Demography Office
• Population– Estimates– Projections– Characteristics
• GIS/Cartography– Special districts– Support to Census, municipalities, others for
mapping
• Economics
Population
• Estimates– Births, deaths– Migration data from Census– Divided by housing availability
• Projections– Cohort component model– Population is aged, migration estimated– Births and mortality are estimated
Population
• Local input• Local governments provide housing unit
data (i.e. building permits, certificates of occupancy)
• Local governments receive drafts, can challenge estimates
• Allocations based on these estimates such as Conservation Trust Fund, Severance Tax, and FML

People follow jobs
How we view jobs
• LEIFA (Local Economic Information and Forecasting Assistance)– Wage and salary employees– Proprietors– Non-profit employees– Agricultural workers– Railroad employment– Private household employment– Membership organizations
How we view jobs
• “Basic” and “Non-basic” industries– Direct and Indirect/Induced– Primary and Spinoff– Export and local
• Includes elements of the population– Government transfers such as Medicare– Retirement income
Economic base
• Base industries determined by population requirements, surveys
• Example: Retail in Vail vs. Denver
Economic Incentives
• A company approaches a city and asks for a tax break to create a certain number of jobs
• Jobs are good, right?
• Question for the city: Is what we’re giving this company greater than or equal to what we get back?
Economic Incentives
• Answer: That depends
• Revenue from the business (and costs)
• Revenue from the population (and costs)
• Easy to just take a multiplier and look at jobs in the absolute sense
• Population impacts could easily mean negative fiscal impact even without incentives
Economic Incentives
• Important to remember: People follow jobs, jobs support people
• Complex relationship
• Especially important when planning or trying to attract businesses
Economic Planning
• This is not to say that you should discourage jobs that support the portion of the population that consumes more city services than it supports
• There is a distribution and balance
• Important to be mindful when tipping the scale
Trends and issues in Colorado
• Baby Boomers– Labor force– Expenditures and personal consumption– Migration and housing
• Increasing ethnic diversity– Household sizes by ethnicity– Could present issues to cities
Baby Boomers
• Born 1946 – 1964
• First reach age 65 in 2010
• More education than previous or subsequent generations
• Between 2000 and 2030 Colorado’s 65+ population will triple

What does this mean?
• Human capital exiting the labor force
• Net migration depends on whether baby boomers stay or leave. If they stay this could be very high.
• Large chunk of the Colorado population demanding services that it hasn’t in the past– Health care, transportation, etc.
Employment and Migration
!
Household changes
• Baby boomers retiring, migration changes households
• Households are consumer units
• Cohorts consume differently across age, income groups
• Households also demand housing units

Race and Ethnicity
• Distribution not uniform across the state
• Fastest increase in foreign born population from 1990-2000 was in the west – Top three: Lake, Summit, Garfield
• Greatest number of foreign born in the Denver area– Top three: Denver, Arapahoe, Adams
Race and Ethnicity

Race and Ethnicity, 2010 - 2030
Race and Ethnicity - considerations
• Foreign born– Language and service provision – schools,
ballots, instructional material, Census workers
– Poverty, especially with undocumented residents
• Health issues– i.e. Greater prevalence of diabetes in
Hispanic population
