Data from the 2010 United States Census was released today, showing Colorado with strong population gains--but not strong enough to gain an additional seat in the United States House of Representatives. Colorado's population increased by 17 percent from 2000 to 2010, compared with a gain of 9.7 percent in the country as a whole. Colorado's population now tops five million, up by around 700,000 over the past decade.
