Colorado Finally Ranks Lowest on a Few Lists

Colorado ranks high on many lists.

Over the past 10 years, there have been almost too many to count. Our colorful state has been ranked #1 for skiing, #3 in best places to live and #5 in best places to start a business in 2015.

We can’t be the best at everything, though. Here are some situations where we actually rank pretty low on the list.

Estately Blog, a real estate website that ranks areas according to various criteria, recently did a study which found Colorado to be in the lower levels of various activities.

We were the 49^th rated state when it came to obesity. Only Hawaii is ahead of us, in being behind us in this category. Wait, what? Is this just another way of calling Colorado one of the fittest states? Maybe. I mean, yes.

The worst at being fat. That's a double negative.

Another thing we are good at being bad at is not working out. It wasn’t too surprising to see that we were in the lowest 5 percent for least time spent working out, at 45^th place.

Yep, this list officially calls us the worst at being bad at things that it is generally good to be bad at.

We are apparently not too busy working out to have a good work ethic as we placed 46^th regarding the least hours worked in the day. Perhaps all this time spent working, both professionally and athletically, can account for our also ranking low in number of Google searches for video games, where we were 46^th out of our 50 states.

We also come in at #45 in hours of TV watched per day. And with all the beautiful sights and fun activities to do why would we spend our time doing those things?

So, the question now is, how else can we excel in not achieving terrible results?

Now, who is the nerdiest state?
