• See Where Fairfield Ranks On Connecticut Home Value Map (patch.com) — Fairfield’s average home value is now about $968,000, putting local prices far above the statewide average of roughly $441,000, according to new Zillow data. The piece compares Fairfield’s market to nearby towns like Westport, Easton, and Bridgeport, and notes that tight inventory is helping keep prices high across Connecticut.    

• A Bridgeport nurse is helping change who works in labor and delivery (stamfordadvocate.com) — Fairfield residents may be interested that Fairfield University’s accelerated nursing program now has a higher share of male students than the national average, reflecting a broader shift in the profession.
