I see a lot of rankings and stories about how Colorado is changing for the worse. We live in a world where the bad outweighs the good. Let's take a moment here and focus on a huge win in Colorado.

No Other Colorado Cities Made the Top 100

I was surprised to see that no cities in Northern Colorado made the list. As a resident, I see examples of people taking care of one another daily, and residents are very compassionate and charitable here.

The 100 Most Caring Cities in America

The number-crunching gurus at WalletHub looked at cities throughout the country and rated them on kindness indicators, like a community's crime rate, DUIs, child and adult poverty rates, pet shelters per capita, ADA compliance, and nurses per capita...a total of 38 different indicators were weighted and categorized.
When the dust settled WalletHub.com totaled all up and assigned each metro a score from 1 to 100, with 1 being the worst and 100 being the best. Here are the 100 Most Caring Cities in America.
