The Startup State
American City Business Journals has issued their rankings of the best small-, medium-, and large-sized cities (Links to Excel Spreadsheets) for small business (fewer than 100 employees). Colorado placed one city in each city size, making it only one of three states to do so (Florida and California were the others). Denver (8), Ft. Collins (6), and Edwards (7) made the cut in their respective categories.
- Colorado Springs came in at #23 in the large-city survey of 91 areas
- Durango and Silverthorne also made the Top 25 small cities.
- Blue, blue Boulder and Pueblo both failed to crack the Top 200 in the 284-city mid-size city survey
Denver did well in the number and density of small businesses, which offset a so-so showing in payroll growth. The data are from 2002.
