What the data says about building here
Aurora is the metro's affordable side. At a $469,100 median home value it is the cheapest place to buy in the metro, and 62.4% of those homes are owner-occupied — a young, working, buy-and-stay market east of Denver.
The housing skews newer than Denver's (median built 1985) and the population is young (median age 35.3), so demand leans toward first-home upgrades, additions, and system replacements over teardown work. A contractor's site here is talking to families, not investors.
With 394,432 residents it is the metro's second-largest city, anchored by Arapahoe County's 20,137 establishments and $24.5B in payroll (CBP 2023) — 1,981 of them construction firms employing about 24,666 people.
