Front Range Urban Corridor

The '''Front Range Urban Corridor''' is an oblong region of urban population located along the eastern face of the [[Rocky Mountains|Southern Rocky Mountains]] in the [[U.S. state]]s of [[Colorado]] and [[Wyoming]]. The corridor derives its name from the [[Front Range]], the mountain range that defines the west central boundary of the corridor. The Front Range Urban Corridor had a population of 4,333,742 at the [[2010 United States Census]], an increase of +17.50% since the [[2000 United States Census]]. ==Extent== The Front Range Urban Corridor stretches from [[Pueblo, Colorado]], north along [[Interstate 25|Interstate Highway 25]] to [[Cheyenne, Wyoming]], and includes the [[Denver-Aurora-Broomfield, CO Metropolitan Statistical Area]], the [[Colorado Springs, CO Metropolitan Statistical Area]], the [[Boulder, CO Metropolitan Statistical Area]], the [[Fort Collins-Loveland, CO Metropolitan Statistical Area]], the [[Greeley, CO Metropolitan Statistical Area]], the [[Pueblo, CO Metropolitan Statistical Area]], the [[Cheyenne, WY Metropolitan Statistical Area]], and the [[Cañon City, CO Micropolitan Statistical Area]]. The corridor comprises three primary subregions: the [[South Central Colorado Urban Area]], the [[North Central Colorado Urban Area]], and the [[Laramie County, Wyoming|Cheyenne Metropolitan Area]]. The influence of the Corridor extends well beyond its defined boundaries. The [[Colorado Eastern Plains]], [[Nebraska Panhandle]] and [[Albany County, Wyoming]], among other areas, are culturally and economically tied to the Corridor, though they are not considered to be a part of it. The table below includes the following information: #The [[Urban area|urban region]]. #The [[Core Based Statistical Area]] (CBSA) as designated by the [[United States Office of Management and Budget]]. #The CBSA population as of April 1, 2010, as counted by the [[2010 United States Census]]. #The [[county (United States)|county]]. #The county population as of April 1, 2010, as counted by the [[2010 United States Census]]. #The county population as of April 1, 2000, as counted by the [[2000 United States Census]]. #The percent county population change from April 1, 2000, to April 1, 2010.
