Colorado
Colorado starts in Denver, in Washington Park, where a 165 acre park of two lakes and a 2.6 mile loop sets the price of the brick bungalows and Denver Squares around it.
One Colorado cost runs through every report in the state: a flat income tax and low property tax. Colorado taxes income at one flat rate of 4.4 percent for 2026, and property tax in Denver County carries a median effective rate of 0.48 percent (Ownwell, October 2026), against 0.50 percent statewide. Sales tax carries more of the load, 9.15 percent combined in Denver in 2026, from 2.9 percent state plus 5.15 percent City and County of Denver plus 1.00 percent Regional Transportation District plus 0.10 percent Scientific and Cultural Facilities District.
