Creator's Key Takeaways

The worst parts of Colorado. You know when you see them, they're the parts of Colorado where you don't want to live, even if they are pretty and inexpensive.

In Cortez, unemployment's an issue. Crime is far above average and lots of people here are broke.

PBLO is the murder capital of Colorado. The unemployment rate is by far the highest in the state, and home prices are some of the lowest in the state as a result.

If you don't live in Pueblo or any of the other Colorado cities we mentioned, you don't have it too badly.
