Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:57:47 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — A lot, it turns out. Financial advisor SmartAsset analyzed economic data from 76 U.S. cities to find which required the most income to actually maintain $100,000 of spending power after taxes and local cost of living are accounted for. Green Valley Ranch violence spiked 50% in 2022 Denver ranks 22nd-highest for the income needed, though its relatively low tax rate compared to other high-cost cities saves it from being higher on the list.

Colorado Springs is slightly lower in cost of living, so households need $155,500 to approximate a six-figure income. The highest on the list are Honolulu, Hawaii; New York City and San Francisco. In each of these cities, it takes over $300,000 a year to achieve $100,000 in spending power. It's much easier to live large with less in southern cities. Memphis, Tennessee; El Paso,...
