Aurora reaching out to refugee community
AURORA — Aurora has become Colorado’s “port of entry” for refugees escaping other countries — and with good reason.
Aurora is the most diverse community in the metro area, where the minority is now the majority.
Nearly 21 percent of Aurora’s 335,000 residents were born in another country — the highest percentage in the Denver metro area. That’s more than one in five people.
The Ethiopian community alone in the Aurora-Denver area in the eastern part of the metro area is an estimated 30,000 strong. Part of that number includes refugees.
