Colorado in the top 10

Interesting report below. Colorado ranked 4th, which is great. I am guessing Colorado would be a lot higher if they added other criteria to this survey.

Where Do Most People Want to Live?
If you could live in any state, except the one you live in now, what state would you choose to live in?

The Harris Poll has asked this question every year since 1997. While California tops the list of most popular states to live in among Echo Boomers (now ages 18 to 33) and Gen Xers (ages 34 to 45), Hawaii is the top pick for Baby Boomers (ages 46 to 64) and Matures (ages 65 and over). Among Echo Boomers, Hawaii drops out of the top five.

Here are the top-10 states across the age groups:

1. California
2. Hawaii
3. Florida
4. Colorado
5. Arizona
6. North Carolina
7. Oregon
8. Texas
9. New York
10. Washington
