A new report from Homesnacks revealed which cities are the cheapest places to live in Colorado.
"Most people think that Colorado cities are filled with a bunch of fancy steakhouses, snobby Aspenites, and a plethora of wealthy outdoor enthusiasts. While all this might be true for some Colorado cities, the cowboys and cowgirls of the Centennial State would beg to differ. Colorado’s cities have a lot to offer to all income levels; and surprisingly, there are cities in Rocky Mountain-land that are actually extremely affordable."
According to the report, the cheapest place to live in Colorado is Craig. The city is the most populous municipality of Moffat County with a population of 9,060 as of 2020.
According to the local chamber of commerce, the city of Craig is also known as the "Elk Hunting Capital of the World."
"Craig is a small city located in northwest Colorado. This little city in Moffat County is our most affordable city in Colorado for 2021. This little piece of Colorado heaven scored an 8/10 on our snackability scale with an 8/10 for jobs that offset their cost of living."
Here are the top 10 most affordable places to live in Colorado, according to Homesnacks:
- Craig
- La Junta
- Sterling
- Fort Morgan
- Milliken
- Lamar
