Hot Take: Colorado, Pacific Northwest, and cold Midwestern cities love a hot tub. These cities jetted to the top of our leaderboard, with Colorado Springs, Colorado, in 1st place. Hot tubs aren’t just for cold-climate dwellers — even desert cities like Las Vegas (No. 5) and Tucson, Arizona (No. 14), made a big splash in our top 20. Our top cities’ high demand for an in-home spa is met by close proximity to hot tub dealers (and servicers). Why does this matter? Pricy long-distance shipping can sap your budget dry. Hot tub water and electricity bills are less affordable in our top cities, though. Keep an eye on them, especially during winter, when those expenses spiral in frigid areas like Sioux Falls, South Dakota (No. 18). Remote Texas cities and small California suburbs landed in hot water — and not in a good way. Edinburg, Texas, plunged to last place. Our worst performers’ small appetite for jetted tubs means lack of wholesalers, except in Honolulu (No. 486). Among our bottom cities, the Big Pineapple has both the highest demand and best access but the steepest costs to keep the tub sizzling.   Helpful Links: See Where Your City Ranks Full Study Article Methodology Need help with hot tub installation or maintenance?
