Coloradan here. We don't. I'm very suspicious of this data.

    The eastern third of CO is all plains and definitely feels like the Midwest, but hardly anyone lives there.

    Yep, and it's really obvious if you've driven into the state from the east. You find yourself wondering when you're gonna get to Colorado and realize you've been driving in it for 3 hours, it just looks exactly the same as the last 10 hours.

    Same thought. No one here thinks it’s the midwest. It’s the west and very apparent. Ghost towns start popping up for attractions, everything’s about the mountains, camping, hiking, skiing/snowboarding.
