My personal experience in Colorado is limited. We spent some time visiting friends near Denver nearly 20 years ago. I have to say, traveling through the state was an impressive experience. It was made more exciting by driving a four-cylinder minivan through some of the mountains of Colorado.

At the time, my wife and I thought it might be nice to live in Colorado, but a quick comparison of our bank account and the housing prices in Colorado quickly put that idea to rest. Beyond that, I didn’t know that much about Colorado, so after doing some reading, here are 15 unusual facts about Colorado.

1: Colardo has the lowest obesity rate of any state. As of 2018, 24% of the population was considered medically obese.

And I’ve done my part by not moving to Colorado.

2: At 80.21 years, Colorado has the longest life expectancy of in US state.

Maybe it’s time for me to consider moving there.

3: Colorado is also number one in the country in the production of beer.
