What we foundColorado's sustained above-average growth over most of the past 15+ years is well-documented, but the precise claim of '14 of the last 16 years' is not clearly supported for the 16-year window ending at the debate, as Colorado fell below the national average in at least 2024 and likely in several early post-recession years (2010–2012).
