"Denver is now the 21st most populous city in the United States, up from 22nd a year ago, according to the latest U.S. Census Bureau city population estimates.

As of July 1, 2014, the City & County of Denver had an estimated 663,862 residents, up from 648,401 in mid-2013 and 600,025 in the last official census year of 2010, the report says."

(663.7-600.0)/4 = 16K people per year moving into the City & County of Denver.
