All You need Is Love 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.
Stereotype d 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 eight towns that comprise the "Gold Coast" have a median household income of $155,655, almost four times higher than the American national average. 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.
Connecticut is, however, much more than the upscale
suburb s of New York. 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, which has seen an influx of hundreds of luxury apartments and even million-dollar loft condominiums coinciding with a huge commercial and retail rebirth.
Connecticut is also one of the most expensive states to live in the
contiguous United States , with the price for a single family home in Greenwich starting at around $800,000. However, most of the state is much lower than this, but still above the national median.
There are eight counties located in
Connecticut , three of which are in the
100 richest counties in the country .

This is a list of all incorporated areas and census-designated places in Connecticut ranked by per capita income. There are many communities not on the list because they are neither incorporated nor a census-designated place. If a place cannot be located, this is most likely the reason why.
