The average temperatures in Colorado has many ranges considering the Rocky Mountains and the various valleys. Cities such as Colorado Springs and Denver can be as high as the upper 80s in the summer, and as low as the single digits in winter. Geologically speaking, Colorado has many regions including mountains, plains, western slope, and continental divide, just to name a few. Colorado’s economy is based on some valued natural resources and as Wikipedia says, “The state's economy broadened from its mid-19th-century roots in mining when irrigated agriculture developed, and by the late 19th century, raising livestock had become important. Early industry was based on the extraction and processing of minerals and agricultural products. Current agricultural products are cattle, wheat, dairy products, corn, and hay.” According to Zillow, “The median home value in Colorado is $408,794. Colorado home values have gone up 3.1% over the past year and Zillow predicts they will fall -1.7% within the next year.” In a pleasant surprise, Smart Asset says that Colorado “has some of the lowest residential property taxes in the country, with an average effective rate of just 0.55%. That ties the state with Washington D.C. for the fourth lowest rate in the U.S. It's also well below the national average of 1.08%.” On the other hand Best Places lists Colorado as having a cost of living index above the 100 mark at 121.1, making it above the national average and more expensive.
