Moving to Boulder may improve quality of life

June 30, 2010 - Moving decisions can sometimes be complicated. However, one recent study may have cleared up the question of where to relocate.

Boulder, Colorado was ranked as the best mid-sized city for quality of life, according to a study from Portfolio.com and Bizjournals. This 300,000-person town beat out 109 other areas with populations between 250,000 and 750,000 people.

The survey came to its conclusion on the best quality of life based on factors that included educational systems, cost of living, traffic and healthy economies, Portfolio.com said. A "young, highly educated workforce" is attracted to Boulder in part because it houses the University of Colorado and has a large number of high-tech industries, the survey found.

High-paying jobs aren't uncommon in this mountain town, according to the survey. This isn't a surprise considering more than half of the city's adults have earned bachelor's degrees. The median household income was also reported to be nearly $70,000.

A person's physical health is also likely to improve if they move to Colorado. A recent study found that the state has the fewest number of obese adults and children in the U.S., the Trust for America's Health said.
