FACT SHEET: Colorado Income
The U.S. Census Bureau recently released new income data from its American Community Survey (ACS), providing critical information about household income and how families are struggling to make ends meet. Though the new data does not account for the full impact the current recession has had on Colorado families, it does provide a perspective on the past decade of earnings for Coloradans and provide a stark reminder of income disparities in the state. Likewise, it shows that Colorado entered this recession in a more vulnerable state than the last recession in 2001.
