To add a little more information that might be of use to you, I?m also
including some additional research:
Cost of Living (COL)
SalaryExpert.com also compares the COL for Colorado, Denver, and
Boulder to the national averages. This is an excellent resource to
gain a sense of what a specific salary range really means in the
context of local economies. Each of the figures reflects the average
COL for renters in a specific area. I?ve included in parentheses the
difference in the COL compared to the national average.
Nationwide COL: $60,952
Colorado COL: $66, 196 (+$5,244)
http://www.salaryexpert.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=Free_Salary_NA.Report&DC=Yes&job=7556&zip=&area=80000
Denver COL: $65,318 (+$4,366)
http://www.salaryexpert.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=Free_Salary_NA.Report&DC=Yes&job=7556&zip=&area=82080
Boulder COL: $71,916 (+10,964)
http://www.salaryexpert.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=Free_Salary_NA.Report&DC=Yes&job=7556&zip=&area=81125
In summary, the pay is higher AND the cost of living is lower in
Denver than in Boulder. However, there are multiple factors to
consider when contemplating relocation.
