Positive Statistics About Colorado

These statistics can be depressing. Colorado is a phenomenal place filled with even better people. Here are some positive statistics to back that up.

Colorado Named the Least-Hated State

Zippia took a look at the most and least hated states around the country. The website surveyed residents nationwide and asked them a simple question. Which state do you hate the most? They compiled that data and determined which states are the most hated around the country.

What they found was that there are a ton of folks who hate the state of Illinois. Why? I am a bit puzzled about that. Another discovery was that Colorado is the least-hated state nationwide. Not one state overwhelmingly admitted they hate us. That is good news, right? According to the data, Colorado is the only state in the nation that does not have another state that hates it.
