Colorado is said to be one of the most beautiful states in the country, but while this might make a pleasant state to live in, beauty is not the only reason people choose to retire where they do. In Colorado, less than 10% of the residents are actually over the age of 65, which makes it difficult for other retirees to socialize with people their own age. The cost of living is also between 5 to 15% higher than the national average of other states due to rent, transportation, housing and basic goods. The sales tax also ranges between 2.9% to a whopping 11.2%, And senior housing options tend to be more expensive than the cost in other states as well. Of course the scenery, fresh air, small-town charm, and excellent health care could be a huge reason for people to choose to retire here anyway.
