List Identifies Worst Colorado Cities to Live In
Roadsnacks released their annual list of the worst cities in Colorado to call home. They considered factors such as average home price, median income, crime, and other factors.
Roadsnacks concluded that the city of Sheridan is the third worst city in Colorado to call home primarily due to crime rates and what they call safety conditions.
Crime is the biggest reason why this southwest Denver suburb is on the list.
Top Two Worst Colorado Cities Named
Despite Roadsnacks noting that Aurora's economy is healthy, Aurora was ranked the second worst city to live in Colorado due to crime. They noted that Aurora's crime rate is worse than half of the nation's.
Roadsnacks officially awarded the thorn-covered crown of the worst city to live in to Fort Lupton.
Like the other cities mentioned, crime is a huge reason why Fort Lupton is considered the worst city to live in. The difference between Fort Lupton and the other cities, according to the ranking, was because of the low-ranking schools in town.
