Iranian
Denver Community Overview
The 2000 US Census estimated that 338,000 Iranian-Americans reside in the United States. In 2004, the Iranian-American population was estimated at 691,000 by a group of Iranian Ph.D. candidates enrolled at MIT, working to compile statistics at the request of Persian associations and community leaders in the United States. Others estimate over one million Iranian-Americans by demographers to indicate the size and importance of the Iranian and American Muslim communities. Large concentrations of Iranian Americans live in the state of California, more than 500,000 of them live in Southern California. For this reason, the L.A area with its Iranian American residents is sometimes referred to as "Tehrangeles" or "Irangeles" among Iranian Americans, in allusion to Iran and its capital, Tehran.
The Denver area has over 7,000 Iranians, and Colorado Springs 1,000. While not a large as California, these residents have developed a community filled with activities, food and a celebration of culture.
