Colorado medical statistics

How is Colorado unique?

Colorado is a very healthy state when compared to the other states in the region. In fact, it leads in most categories.

For instance, Colorado has the lowest adult obesity rate in the Western United States (21.4%). Actually, Colorado has the lowest obesity rate of any state in the country!

Colorado also has the highest median household income in the West at $60,442. This is about $6,500 more than the regional average of $53,412.00.

The only category where Colorado struggles is with low birth weight babies. Eight point nine percent (8.9%) of babies born in Colorado have low birth weight. This is the highest rate in the region.

That is why it is important to find out what is required of you as a future or current registered nurse before moving across state lines. Contact information is located at the bottom of this page.
