Anchored in the southeast Denver suburbs, CO-06 gave the Democratic presidential nominee a 14.8-point margin in 2024, reflecting the broader college-educated suburban realignment that has redrawn Colorado's competitive map.

The demographics suggest why. A population of 218,542, a 60% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $100,788 situate the district in the broader realignment patterns of recent cycles.
