Contrary to what one might believe after traveling around the Centennial State, AllState says two Colorado cities are actually home to some of the ‘best drivers’ nationwide.

In order to create their ranking of which cities had the best drivers, the insurance company analyzed damage claim frequency, expressed as average years between collisions, then looked at how these numbers varied across 200 cities around the nation.

With a collision likelihood that was 27.4 percent below the national average, Fort Collins was ranked as being home to the second-best drivers nationwide. This was behind only Brownsville, Texas, with the average number of years between collisions for Fort Collins drivers being 14.96 years. Last year, Fort Collins ranked well, too, in third place.

Perhaps more of a shocker is that Colorado Springs climbed 15 spots year-over-year to rank as the home of the 8th-best drivers nationwide in the 2026 report. Collision likelihood in Colorado Springs was 14.4 percent below the national average, with an average of 12.68 years between a driver’s collisions on average.

Lakewood and Thornton also landed above average when it came to collision likelihood, respectively ranking at 27th and 32nd at 4.6 percent and 3.4 percent below the national average.

How did the Mile High City perform? Not so great. It ranked as home to the country’s 101st best drivers overall (of 200 cities and probably still shockingly high to locals) with a collision likelihood that was 17.3 percent above the national average. Silver lining? That performance was still good enough for a 26-spot year-over-year jump. On average, Denverites got into a wreck every 9.26 years.

Meanwhile, Aurora ranked the worst among Colorado cities that were included in the AllState report – 129th of 200 with the likelihood of a collision being 27.9 percent above the national norm. In this city, driver collisions occur every 8.49 years.

The spot that was home to the worst drivers nationwide was determined to be Boston with an average of just 3.76 years between collisions and a collision likelihood that was 188.7 percent above the national average.
