Since the recession of 2008, Denver has been making a name for itself as a very resilient city, and the trend is continuing over a decade later. This year we were recognized as one of the best states for socially distant activities and for being home to some of the country’s healthiest cities. Check out the highlights below to see where Colorado’s been making news!

-        May of 2020: Forbes predicted that Denver would be among the top ten cities in the U.S. that would be best positioned to recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The article states that Denver, which was ranked as second behind Boise, Idaho, is “well-positioned to retake its crown as one of the fastest-rising metro areas in the U.S.”

-        June 2020: Business Insider ranks Colorado Springs as the third best place to live in the U.S. and Denver took the #2 spot.

-        September 2020:  Today published an article in which Colorado snagged six of the top 10 spots on the list of the healthiest counties in the U.S. County rankings were based on 84 health and health-related metrics in 10 categories, including population health; food and nutrition; public safety and the environment. Douglas County claimed the No. 2 spot on the list, topped only by Los Alamos County, New Mexico. Broomfield County (No.4), Routt County (No. 5), Pitkin County (No. 7), Summit County (No.9), and San Miguel County (No.10) were also included within the top 10 list.

-        October 2020: CNBC covered the story of how extreme demand for Colorado homes has made Denver Metro’s housing market one of the most competitive in America. In the article, they explain that although new listings have been coming onto the market to help bolster the low inventory of available homes, “it’s no match for the intense demand.” This demand has fueled the surge in homebuying over the last year.
