Steamboat Springs’ population increased more than 2,300 residents, or 24 percent, from 2000 to 2009, according to figures released Tuesday by the U.S. Census Bureau.
The census figures indicated that Steamboat had 12,180 residents as of July 1, 2009. The increase from 2008, 215 residents, or 1.8 percent, follows a trend of consistent modest growth in Steamboat since the 2000 census that showed 9,815 residents.
Jonathan Spence, Steamboat’s interim planning director, said the city conducts its own population study annually that it compares with state demographers so each can verify numbers. For example, he said the state revised its population figures for Steamboat in 2008.
Spence said the city uses its population study in conjunction with the census…

In May 2010, Liberty Mutual launched Bring Back the 4th™, an online contest encouraging people across America to rally together and earn $10,000 grants to help continue their cities' and towns' official Fourth of July celebrations. The response was overwhelming; tens of thousands of Americans took our Responsible Moments in U.S. History quiz at www.BringBackThe4th.com to earn credits for their local Independence Day traditions. Each completed quiz counted as one credit towards a website visitor's town, and the 10 municipalities with the most completed quizzes were awarded grants. Bring Back the 4th grants are awarded to cities and towns in three size-based categories: small (four grants), medium (three grants), and large (three grants).

Trends show better housing market on horizon

The developers of Alpine Mountain Ranch and Club brought in reinforcements and rallied the troops here Tuesday, using historical data to make the case that when the mountain resort real estate economy turns around, it will be “Steamboat’s turn.”
Co-developer Bill Butler told an audience of more than 200 Realtors, bankers, architects and builders gathered in the Strings Pavilion that if the economic recovery that he thinks already is under way follows historic trends in the ski town markets, Steamboat could be poised to build on the momentum it had in 2006 and 2007, before sales plummeted.
Among the speakers was David Belin, of Boulder-based RRC Associates, a research company with a strong focus on the ski and snowboard industries and vacation travel.
