How Boulder compares with nearby places

The Census Bureau's American Community Survey counts 1,559 people who report Asian Indian ancestry, alone or with another group, in Boulder [1], against 1,151 in 2015–2019 [2]. The table compares it with the places in Boulder County that have the largest Asian Indian communities. Figures are for whole places, and some places extend into neighboring counties [1][2][4].

Place	2020–2024	2015–2019	Change	Share of place
Boulder	1,559	1,151	35%	1.5%
Longmont	828	566	46%	0.8%
Superior	739	1,108	-33%	5.6%
Lafayette	439	217	102%	1.4%
Erie	368	368	0%	1.1%
Gunbarrel CDP	209	69	203%	2.1%
Louisville	157	225	-30%	0.8%
Pine Brook Hill CDP	26	–	–	4.8%

Asian Indian alone or in any combination. Sources: ACS 5-year estimates [1][2][4]; totals from Table B01003. Change and share are our calculations. Estimates carry margins of error.

Boulder has the biggest community in the Boulder County table (our ranking), ahead of Longmont and Superior [1][2][4]. Lafayette doubled from a small base [1][2][4].

The most concentrated communities

Raw counts favor big cities. Ranking places of 20,000+ residents by the share who report Asian Indian ancestry gives a different map [1][2][3][4][5]:

Place	Asian Indian residents	Total population	Share
Boulder	1,559	106,433	1.5%

Places with 20,000+ residents and at least 1,000 Asian Indian residents. CDP = census-designated place. Sources: ACS 2020–2024 5-year, Tables B02018 and B01003 [1][2][3][4][5]; shares are our calculation.

What the HeyAlbert database shows in Boulder, Colorado

HeyAlbert builds profiles of Indian-American individuals with an estimated net worth of $1M or more from public records, and every estimate is tied to a cited source. Our database currently places 106 such people in Boulder, Colorado [6]. That is a count of people we have found and estimated, not a census of wealthy households: our coverage is partial and uneven.

Estimated net-worth band	People in our database
$5M+	28
$1M–5M	78
Total, $1M+	106

Source: HeyAlbert database [6]. Bands are estimates from public evidence; $5M+ combines our $5–15M and $25M+ tiers. Cells under 25 are suppressed.

City	$1M+	of which $5M+
Boulder	106	28

Source: HeyAlbert database [6]. Cities with 25+ people at $1M+; cells under 25 shown as <25. The city is where our sources place the person; for some records it is a workplace rather than a home. Our records are matched on the city name Boulder; the Census figures are for the whole place.

About three in four people in our Boulder set are in the $1M–5M band (our calculation) [6]. Fewer than 25 have a public giving signal [6].

Why our Boulder, Colorado count looks the way it does

Each estimate in our database rests on a primary piece of public evidence. The mix differs from place to place, depending on which records we have been able to process, and it shapes the counts above more than any real difference in wealth does [6].

Primary evidence for the estimate	People	Share
Home value (public assessor or listing records)	78	74%
Other public signals (executive roles, company filings, gifts, pay)	28	26%

Source: HeyAlbert database [6], people at $1M+. Categories under 25 not shown.

Home values support 78 estimates and other public signals 28 [6]. The home-value records line up with the $1M–5M band.

What it means if you work with these families

For advisors, Boulder is a growing, small community where the people in our data are mostly $1M–5M homeowners [1][2][6]. Our Colorado and Denver posts cover the Front Range.

Methodology

Census figures are American Community Survey 5-year estimates for 2020–2024 and 2015–2019, Table B02018, using “Asian Indian, alone or in any combination” [1][2]. Total population comes from Table B01003 [3]. The Census Bureau changed how it codes detailed race responses in 2020, so part of the change between the two periods may reflect coding rather than migration. All estimates carry margins of error. Shares and growth rates are our calculations.

HeyAlbert counts are aggregates from our database as of November 2, 2026 [6]. They include people we identified as likely of Indian origin with an estimated net worth of $1M or more, based on public records such as property assessments, professional licenses, patents, SEC filings and donor rolls. Coverage is partial and depends on which public records exist and which we have processed. These counts are not population totals. Any cell under 25 is suppressed, and we publish aggregates only, never individual records.
