Coming in behind Florida, Colorado scored second best in a handful of categories, which - as per WalletHub's methodology - includes affordability (adjusted cost of living and tax-friendliness on pensions & social security income, to name a few), quality of life (a la access to public transit and share of population aged 65+), and overall healthcare, all of which landed the Centennial State at the top of the list.
