Douglas County, CO: up 48%, and almost all home equity in our data

Douglas County has about 10,500 residents of Asian Indian descent, up about 48% from about 7,100 in the 2015–2019 survey [1][2]. They are 2.8% of the county [1][3].

In our data, Douglas County is a home-equity county. Home values support 331 of the 345 people we place there at $1M+, and fewer than 25 are in our $5M+ bands [8].

Where Douglas County, Colorado's Indian-American residents live, by place

The Census Bureau's American Community Survey counts 10,498 people who report Asian Indian ancestry, alone or with another group, in Douglas County, Colorado [1]. Aurora is the largest community, with 33% of the county total [4]–[7] (our calculation).

Castle Rock	1,020	1.3%

Asian Indian alone or in any combination. Sources: ACS 5-year estimates [4]–[7]; totals from Table B01003. Change and share are our calculations. Estimates carry margins of error.

Parker has about 2,700 Asian Indian residents (4.4%) and Highlands Ranch about 2,700 (2.6%) [4]–[7]. Castle Rock has about 1,000 and Lone Tree about 900, or 6.5% of the city [4]–[7]. Several small census-designated places are more concentrated: Meridian Village is 14.6% Asian Indian [4]–[7]. Aurora, which extends into Arapahoe and Adams counties, appears in the table with its whole-city count of about 3,500 [4]–[7].

What the HeyAlbert database shows in Douglas County, 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 345 such people in Douglas County, Colorado [8]. 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+	<25
$1M–5M	331
Total, $1M+	345

Source: HeyAlbert database [8]. Bands are estimates from public evidence; $5M+ combines our $5–15M and $25M+ tiers. Cells under 25 are suppressed.

City	$1M+	of which $5M+
Parker	78	<25
Highlands Ranch	70	<25
Aurora	66	<25
Castle Pines	44	<25
Castle Rock	29	<25
Littleton	29	<25
Lone Tree	29	<25

Source: HeyAlbert database [8]. 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. Cities in our database are matched by name to the Census places and townships in the county; a few that straddle a county line are counted whole, and large cities that extend well beyond the county are left out.

Parker has 78 people in our set, Highlands Ranch 70, Aurora 66, Castle Pines 44, and Castle Rock, Littleton and Lone Tree 29 each [8]. Each has fewer than 25 at $5M+ [8]. Aurora and Littleton straddle county lines and our records carry a city name but no county, so the same people also appear in our Arapahoe County post [8]. Without those two cities the Douglas count would be 250 (our calculation) [8].

Why our Douglas County, 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 [8].

Primary evidence for the estimate	People	Share
Home value (public assessor or listing records)	331	96%

Source: HeyAlbert database [8], people at $1M+. Categories under 25 not shown.

Home values support 331 estimates, about 96% (our calculation), and other public signals 14 [8]. Our Douglas count is therefore close to a count of Indian-American families whose homes and other assets put them over $1M, rather than of executives or business owners [8].

What it means if you work with these families

For advisors and nonprofits, Douglas County is one of Colorado's fast-growing suburban communities [1][2], and the families in our set there are mostly in the $1M–5M band with most of their measured wealth in their homes [8].

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 October 31, 2026 [8]. 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.
