In 2022, many Coloradans told us that they are feeling overwhelmed by the rising cost of living, including but not limited to housing costs. While Coloradans do their best to live within their means, many make difficult tradeoffs just to make ends meet. Some are skipping meals because they can’t afford food (16%); others are going without health care (41%) or working more in order to pay for their housing (41%); many are experiencing mental health strain (61%) but say out-of-pocket costs are a barrier to getting the help they need (47%).
