A June 2006 analysis of future residential growth in the seven-county Denver region showed that Adams County has as many as 69,500 residential units ready to be built, based on developer surveys of lots currently platted. This compares to 51,000 in Douglas County, 43,500 in Arapahoe County and 19,000 in Denver County. During the next 25 years, Adams County is likely to be one of the fastest-growing counties in the State of Colorado—if not the nation. Regional employment and demographic forecasts predict that by 2035, the county will add up to 250,000 new jobs and more than 350,000 new residents. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Adams County will have no shortage of growth in the future.
Adams County’s future housing supply will be important, not only to its current and future residents, but also for workers employed in other higher-cost counties, such as Denver and Boulder, who want to buy, as Adams County provides a much needed share of workforce housing for the region.
