Colorado households have some of the nation's highest debt

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:12:35 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- Coloradans have good credit, but they pay for it. Economic and social disruptions aside, there were some benefits U.S. households reaped from the COVID-19 pandemic. Stimulus checks and other financial relief racked up in 2020 and 2021, increasing the level of household savings and debt repayment. A new study of financial data by Upgraded Points shows that delinquencies on loans decreased during the pandemic. Only in one state — North Dakota — did credit scores not increase between 2019 and 2022. In Colorado, the average credit score rose from 718 in 2019 to 730 in 2022, the nation's 14th-highest credit score. How common is your name in Colorado? However, Coloradans also have more debt than most states. Upgraded Points' study also examined the average household's debt-to-income ratio in 2022. This measures how much of a household's income goes toward debt repayment. Higher scores mean households pay a greater share of their income. Colorado has the nation's sixth-...

What I heard, he jumped off the front of the boat, and he dove in head first,” said the witness.“A lot of people didn’t actually know who he was,” said Rose. “They pulled him o...

Masks, lockdowns, social distancing: ‘Unequivocal’ evidence that measures reduced COVID-19 spread

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:12:35 GMT

Speedy implementation of a combination of measures such as face masks, lockdowns and international border controls, “unequivocally” reduced COVID-19 infections, a major review has shown.The report published Thursday by the Royal Society looked at findings from six evidence reviews that analyzed thousands of studies to assess the effect of masks, social distancing and lockdowns, test trace and isolate systems, border controls, environmental controls and communications. It found evidence that each of these measures — which are called “non-pharmaceutical interventions” — were effective, albeit to varying degrees, when looked at individually. However, the evidence in favor of using these tools was stronger when countries combined several measures. The report could have significant implications for decision-making in future outbreaks, with Mark Walport, chair of the report’s expert working group and foreign secretary of the Royal Society, saying that “having protocols in adv...

OK, the real-life Jann did not win the Le Mans race. But he did win a race, which is pretty wild when you think about it: Table jockey drives a real race car under the checkered flag.This guy went from being an underemployed loser, college-dropout and nerd virtually locked in his room in his parents’ house obsessively playing a video-game designed by an employee of car manufacturer Nissan (Takehiro Hira) to being a winning race car driver on the Nissan/NISMO team. When Nissan dealer and promoter Danny Moore (a solid Orlando Bloom) makes a pitch to skeptical Nissan executives in Tokyo to create a program to turn ...
