Rhode Island and Denver: Why People Move

Why people move from Denver to Rhode Island

  • Newport's gilded-age Bellevue Avenue mansion estates, America's Cup sailing heritage, and International Tennis Hall of Fame create a luxury resort community with genuine historical depth.
  • Rhode Island's Block Island, Watch Hill, and Westerly beaches provide New England coastal access in a state that is entirely within 45 minutes of Providence.
  • Providence's Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) creates an arts and design community that has disproportionately shaped American creative culture relative to Providence's population of 190,000.

Why people move from Rhode Island to Denver

  • Rhode Island's income tax reaches 5.99% vs. Colorado's 4.4%; a meaningful difference for high earners, representing approximately $4,770 annually per $300,000 of income.
  • Denver's Rocky Mountain skiing within 90 minutes includes world-class terrain; Rhode Island's nearest comparable skiing (Killington, Stowe) is 3 to 4 hours away.
