The data from the same April 2020 census showed a median household income of $67,723 (in 2020 USD). A total of 20.6% of residents at this time were born outside of the United States. In terms of racial/ethnic diversity, 44.2% were White, 28.3% Hispanic or Latino, 16.7% Black or African American, 6.8% Asian, 0.9% American Indian or Alaska Native, 0.3% Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and 7.5% were identified as belonging to two or more races. The age breakdown was as follows: 6.8% were under 5 years of age, 24.9% were under 18, and 11.9% were over 65. Of the recent population census, 50.3% were female, 49.7% male. This now makes Aurora the third-largest city in the state of Colorado. Over the last 50 years, Aurora's population has increased by over 300,000 residents. This is up from the 2010 figure of 325,078. Then, in 1928, when the population exceeded 2,000 people, Aurora was recognized as a city.Īccording to the United States Census Bureau's April 2020 survey, the population of Aurora was 386,261. Through the depression, the small town persisted. The brief early period of prosperity was shuttered when a drought disrupted the town's water system, and an economic drought, known as the Silver Panic, destroyed Fletcher's mining scene, saw banks in the area close, and property values plummet. Initially, Fletcher was just four square miles in area and home to a mere 39 citizens. Aurora was one of them, although, at the time (1891), it was originally incorporated as the town of Fletcher (named after one of the Canadian-born developers, Donald Fletcher). In the late 1800s, several suburbs began sprouting up on the outskirts of Denver. Aurora also receives 17-inches of rain throughout the fair-weather seasons, which is below the national average of 38-inches. This is well above the national average of 28-inches. The average relative humidity is 52%, which peaks in the winter months when roughly 62-inches of snow falls.

This ranges from a low of 19-degrees in December/January to a high of 89-degrees in July. The average annual temperature is 51-degrees Fahrenheit.

Though it can be quite cool in the mornings and evenings, and the winters hit with full force, Aurora also experiences over 300 days of sunshine, elevating the daytime highs, particularly in the summer. Given its high altitude and proximity to the mountains, Aurora experiences an arid climate.
