2025 Town Profiles for Every Connecticut Municipality Now Available

The Connecticut Town Profiles, a project of the Connecticut Data Collaborative in partnership with AdvanceCT, have been issued for 2025 and are available online for use by the public.

The Connecticut Town Profiles are two-page reports of demographic and economic information for Connecticut's municipalities, regions, and the state as a whole.

Population, key employers and industries, education, fiscal and labor data, and housing metrics such as number of units, rent, and home values are covered in each profile. There are also detailed breakdowns by age, race, ethnicity, language, and education.

The profiles for each of Connecticut’s 169 cities and towns can be viewed online at https://profiles.ctdata.org/. Also included is a breakdown of the labor force between those who are employed and unemployed, the commuting time for workers and the mode of transportation used to reach the place of employment.

The updated town profiles, developed by the Connecticut Data Collaborative (CTData) for Advance CT (formerly the Connecticut Economic Resource Center) and use by the public, include a range of demographic data. An overview of fiscal indicators for each municipality, such as municipal revenue and expenditure levels, grand list, and municipal debt ratings, is also included, as is data on school enrollment and student achievement in the municipality.

“The town profiles provide a range of data for each of Connecticut’s communities, to better inform decision-makers in the public and private sectors - businesses, nonprofit organizations, and residents throughout the state and beyond. Each profile provides a data-based look at top-line data on an array of demographic aspects, for this year and much of the past decade,” said Michelle Riordan-Nold, Executive Director of CTData.

With data spanning from 2016 to 2025, the profiles enable year-over-year comparisons. The website provides access to profile data for all Connecticut municipalities from 2016–2019, 2021, and 2023–2025. The town profiles can be used free of charge by external organizations, as long as AdvanceCT and Connecticut Data Collaborative are cited.

In addition to the Connecticut Town Profiles, CTData also offers a range of other town-level resources that can be helpful to state residents, businesses and organizations. They include: Connecticut Housing Profiles (created in partnership with The Partnership for Strong Communities); Connecticut Population Estimates Dashboard; and 2020 Demographics and Housing Explorer.

CTData works throughout Connecticut with nonprofits, advocates, policymakers, community groups, and funders to further the use of data to drive policy and improve programs and services, budgeting and decision-making at the state, regional and local levels.

CTData’s mission is to promote and engage data users in implementing equitable data practices across the state. Among its initiatives, CTData works with nonprofit organizations to develop Data Strategic Plans© to map out their use of data to further organizational missions and offers a range of programs and working groups through the CTData Academy. CTData also operates a data “helpline” for assisting data users with obtaining, displaying, interpreting, and using data.

CTData has been designated as the lead organization for the State of Connecticut in the U.S. Census Bureau’s State Data Center Program and is a member of the National Neighborhood Indicators Partnership (NNIP).
