Colorado is Number 9
Richest state in the United States of America
Median income: $59,669
Poverty rate: 11.9% (20th lowest)
Without health insurance: 14.3% (23rd highest)
Unemployment: 8.5% (22nd highest)
Colorado's unemployment rate of 8.5% is not ideal -- nor is its high number of people without health insurance. Most of Colorado consists of poor rural areas, like Costilla County, which has a median income of less than $25,000. However, the most populous areas, including Denver and Boulder, all have median incomes at or above the national level. Colorado's extremely affluent resort cities, including Littleton, Aurora, and Aspen, have pushed it to the top tier of wealthy states. Douglas County, which is located near Colorado Springs, is the seventh-wealthiest county in the United States.
