I live in lovely Salida, Colorado. It has the small town feel, crime is unheard of and the cost of living is low here...
I can’t stand the city.
No way the population has declined in Cedar County in the last few years. Lots of people must have lied on the census. People are flowing in here. Retirees. Lots of them from what used to be the decent parts of California. Even more of them from KC and areas around it that have been overrun with crime. Hell, I also know of more from Illinois. I have lived in Cedar for 3+ years and in Polk Co. just to the East for the 7 years before that.
Wondering how the two regions compare in crime rates.
Take race out of this and see results
Well the stats prove it - we can safely blame all our problems on country music and Cracker Barrel ;’)
