This fact sheet summarizes Census estimates for some key child and family well-being measures in 54 cities and towns in Connecticut. Through the American Community Survey, the Census provided three-year average estimates on social and economic indicators for the period of 2010-2012 for cities and towns in the state with populations of 20,000 or more. This analysis by CT Voices summarizes town-level estimates of:
- people in poverty
- children in poverty
- median household income
- people uninsured, and
- children uninsured.
Our analysis indicates where there have been statistically significant changes in town estimates of poverty and income between the periods of 2007-2009 and 2010-2012. (Because there are no health insurance coverage estimates for 2007-2009 in this Census survey, it is not possible to make comparisons over time for that indicator.)
