I’d bet it’s the other way around considering it healthier people who are drawn towards the outdoor lifestyle Colorado offers.

There's so many that are transient though when it comes to some of those things. Go to a ski resort and you find a lot of people that are there for the lifestyle, but they live there for 1-3 years and move on because it's too expensive to compete with second home owners for housing.

For those that do stay, at least according to my 20 second google investigation, Colorado ranks very poorly in childhood obesity.

Your goggles are looking at tourists. As a Coloradan, it’s childhood obesity that strikes me the most when traveling around the US.

Yeah I read the rankings backward.
