Connecticut locations by per capita income

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Connecticut is the richest state in the United States of America, with a per capita income of $28,766 (2000) and a personal per capita income of $43,173 (2003). Its median household income is $53,935 (2000), ranked second in the country, and its median family income is $65,521 (2000), the highest in the country. The median value of an owner-occupied housing unit is $166,900 (2000), ranked sixth in the country.

Stereotyped as a bedroom community of New York City, home to the wealthiest of the upper class, and a haven for the preppy lifestyle, Fairfield County is the fifth richest county in America, best known for its "Gold Coast", one of the richest areas of the nation if not the world; the nine towns that comprise the "Gold Coast" have a median household income of $155,655, almost four times higher than the American national average. Rowayton, a village in the urban city of Norwalk, has the highest per capita income in the county, and the state as well. The average household income is more than $255,000. The New York Post has dubbed the southwestern "Connecti-Cash" panhandle the "epicenter of American wealth." With their close proximity to New York City, these communities, most notably Greenwich, are what make Connecticut famous for its wealth and prestige. Almost every county in connecticut places in the highest income counties in the usa. Middlesex County, Tolland County and Litchfield county.

Although it is the richest state in America, with approximately 83% of Connecticut municipalities above the national average per capita income, Connecticut nevertheless has many enclaves of poverty that are often overshadowed by the super-rich communities. 4.7% of Connecticut households have annual incomes of $200,000+, and 20.1% have incomes of $100,000 or more; but 7.0% have incomes of less than $10,000, and 31.8% less than $34,999. 7.9% of people living in Connecticut live below the poverty line. In contrast to the "Gold Coast", Bridgeport, New Haven and Hartford have significantly lower per-capita incomes.

Connecticut has some of the largest gaps between the rich and poor in America, as the middle class flees urban areas as too expensive and unpleasant, leaving the poor to stay behind further burdening the cities' economies. However, this trend is starting to change in some areas, particularly downtown New Haven and Hartford, which have seen an influx of hundreds of luxury apartments and even million-dollar loft condominiums coinciding with a huge commercial and retail rebirth.
