Australians in Colorado
The Lifestyle Magnet
Colorado's reputation for outdoor adventure hasn't been lost on Australians. 3,668 Aussies have made the Centennial State home — well above what the work data alone would predict, with a lifestyle-leaning work index of 0.66. Denver anchors most of the professional E-3 activity, but the real draw is the mountains, the ski seasons, and a quality of life that's hard to beat.

Work index = share of E-3 jobs ÷ share of Australian residents. Above 1.0 means more Australians are sponsored to work here than live here. Below 1.0 means more settle here by choice.
E-3 filings are job applications, not individual people — renewals and amendments inflate counts. For population, refer to Census figures. Sources: US Census ACS B05006, US DOL LCA disclosures.
