According to new estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau, Bridgeport remains the state’s largest city. Fairfield County, which provides the bulk of our tax revenue has the most growth — a good sign, perhaps. Hartford ticked up, perhaps a reflection of folks moving to the downtown.
The overall state population was up by just a blip — about 5,000. The borough of Fenwick and our smallest town, Union, remained steady.

No surprises. THe poor counties/districts off the 91/95 beltway get poorer and less populous.
Not that I think CT’s Hartford-Centric and urban-centric legislature has anything to do with this. Rural poverty escapes our politicians completely.
Kudos to young Hispanic women in Bridgeport, Stamford, Norwalk, Danbury, and Stratford. Without you CT would be in decline.
