People are always curious about how much money people make, especially their neighbors. That's why Stacker got curious about how much money each state's counties are bringing in, including Colorado.
"Stacker compiled a list of the highest-earning counties in Colorado using data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Counties are ranked by 2020 5-year estimate median household income," researchers explain.
According to their data, the highest-earning county in Colorado is...
Douglas County!
Located between Denver and Colorado Springs, this county is home to multiple state parks, including Castlewood Canyon State Park and Chatfield State Park. The county seat is Castle Rock.
