What the data says about building here
Start with who owns and who rents. Denver is the most renter-heavy market on the Front Range — just 48.8% of homes are owner-occupied. A contractor selling here is often selling to landlords and property managers as much as to the homeowner next door, and the site has to talk to both.
The housing is old for the metro: the median Denver home was built in 1975. Fifty years of aging roofs, furnaces, and wiring is steady repair-and-remodel work, and a site that speaks to that beats one built around new construction.
It is a wired, big-city market — broadband in 92.9% of households, 718,877 residents — sitting on Denver County's base of 27,422 employer establishments and $43.9B in annual payroll (CBP 2023), 1,607 of them construction firms.
