Excerpt of Waterbury Republican-American newspaper front page article, by Mike Patrick
WATERBURY – It may not seem fair to compare Waterbury to Stamford, which benefits from its proximity to New York City, large transportation hub and vibrant corporate climate. But strip those elements away, and you’re left with a city of former factories and mills, just like Waterbury, and a downtown that not long ago faced the same challenges as the Brass City’s.
This crosstab of results from the 2018 DataHaven Community Wellbeing Survey contains weighted estimates for Connecticut, as well as disaggregations for each of the Five Connecticuts.
The survey conducted in-depth interviews with over 16,000 randomly-selected adults living in every town and city throughout Connecticut.

La tasa de asma de Connecticut es peor que la tasa nacional, con un 11 por ciento para los niños y el 10.5 por ciento para los adultos, y va en aumento. Los vecindarios de Bridgeport, Hartford y New Haven se encuentran entre los más afectados. El dióxido de carbono producido por los automóviles, el humo del cigarrillo, el moho y las alimañas en las viviendas de baja calidad, están entre los factores desencadenantes.
Excerpt from op-ed by Fairfield County’s Community Foundation President and CEO Juanita T. James:
"As nonprofit organizations gear up for Giving Tuesday on Nov. 27, we are reminded of the powerful work they do to address the most pressing social needs facing too many individuals across the globe and right here in Fairfield County — hunger, homelessness, denial of access to a quality education, unemployment and underemployment — to name just a few.
