Colorado is now ranked as one of the worst place to retire, coming in at number 44 out of 50 states, according to a study by Bankrate.

The rankings were based primarily on affordability, which accounted for 40% of the score.
Overall well being took up 25% and included factors such as access to food and healthcare, and the number of adults over 62 per 100,000 residents.
Colorado’s saving grace is that crime only accounted for 5% of the ranking score.
Weather made up the remaining 10%.
