Latino Coloradans Are Worried About Affording To Live in Colorado
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%).
Mental health strain continues to increase
Pulse: The Colorado Health Foundation Poll is being released in phases. If you missed the first phase focused on the increasing cost of living and cost of housing, you can catch up here. Below, we dig into Coloradans’ view on health and well-being.
Nearly half of all Coloradans postponed medical or dental care, and 61% have experienced mental health strain in past year

What's Keeping People Up at Night? Increasing Cost of Living and the Lack of Affordable Housing
Once a year, at The Colorado Health Foundation, we conduct Pulse, a poll that explores the most pressing issues facing Coloradans. Many people think of polls as tools to predict the outcome of elections. But for us, they’re a way to listen to Coloradans.
Through Pulse, we hold up a mirror to the state, and we reflect back what we see in the data: the worries, the experiences and the priorities of our neighbors.
Pulse 2022 is almost here!
At The Colorado Health Foundation, we believe in listening first, and that’s why each year we listen to Coloradans from across the state through our annual poll.
I just got the data back from this year’s poll. While I’m still digging in to make sense of it all, a few headlines are leaping off the page:
