While Democratic and Republican voters may be split on who they want to lead the country and whether they trust the integrity of national elections, a recent survey shows Colorado residents agree that the cost of living in the state is too high.
One of the top takeaways from the annual Colorado Political Climate Survey conducted by the American Politics Research Lab at CU Boulder and the polling company YouGov is that 80% of survey participants said they are either “concerned” or “very concerned” about the rising cost of living.
According to a Forbes Advisor analysis, Colorado’s affordability continues to trend high. Ranked 11th in the nation, Colorado’s total cost of living for residents is estimated at around $45,931. The analysis considers housing, transportation, health care, food, and income taxes.
