Cost report, against Colorado
Each line is what this building filed with Medicare for its latest full year, beside the middle building in Colorado. The rank counts from the top: 1st is the highest figure among Colorado's filing buildings on that line, out of the buildings that filed it. The arrow beside a figure compares it with the building's own full year before: green is better, red is worse, grey is neither. Shares and margins move in points. A line standing on fewer than 20 filings is not ranked. Operating expense is the cost report's own operating line. Net income also counts income and expense outside patient care, such as investment income, rentals and donations, which is why it is not patient revenue minus that line.

Each figure is the share of residents, so lower is better. The building's figure, the state's and the nation's are CMS's four-quarter averages; the small bars are single quarters, which move more than the average does.
