Colorado is in the middle of a demographic shift unlike anything we’ve seen before. Birth rates are falling, migration has slowed, and the fastest-growing age group is adults 75–84—with more people living into their 90s and beyond.
In this episode of Aging Unscripted, hosts Jill Vitale-Aussem and Pam Sullivan are joined by former Colorado State Demographer Elizabeth Garner to explore what this population pivot means for our state’s future.
We’ll explore:
-
Why Colorado’s growth is slowing
-
What an aging population means for communities, housing, and healthcare
-
The workforce challenges ahead—and how the state can prepare
Watch now and be prepared for Colorado’s population pivot.
Guest: Elizabeth Garner, Demographer
