Clifton, Colorado is a small town located on the Western Slope of the state, about 20 miles from Grand Junction. It has a population of around 20,100 people and has recently been cited as one of the worst places to live in Colorado, according to 24/7 Wall St.

“Even though the U.S. is the wealthiest country in the world by gross domestic product, more than 41 million Americans, or 12.8% of the population, live below the poverty line,” says the outlet.

The site pulled data from the Census Bureau, the FBI, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to “create an index of 22 measures” to determine what areas in each state are the worst place to live. The three major factors on their list included, economy, community, and overall quality of life.

Here are the stats according to 24/7 Wall St.:

 Poverty rate: 17.6% (state: 9.6%)
> Median home value: $166,900 (state: $397,500)
> Median household income: $49,350 (state: $80,184)
> Drug-induced mortality: 25.5 deaths per 100,000 (state: 26.5 per 100,000)
> Total population: 20,122

Despite it’s high poverty rate, Clifton has seen a steady decrease in poverty since 2021. According to data collected from DATA USA, the city has seen a 24.2% decrease in poverty as well as a 6.37% increase in the median household gross income.
