Article Summary

The U. S. Census Bureau reported that Colorado had the fastest-growing foreign-born population in the country during the decade of the 1990s. In 1990 the census found that 4.3% of Colorado's citizens had been born outside the United States. By 2000 that proportion had risen to 10%, or almost 413,000 people. Foreign immigration accounted for about one-third of Colorado's net population growth during the last ten years, mainly from Mexico, east Asia, Europe and Africa.
