DataHaven resources

Some of our most popular resources for data related to safety include:

1. DataHaven Community Wellbeing Survey – a large statewide survey that contains questions on perceptions of neighborhood safety, and experiences of victimization (property and violent crime).

2. Greater New Haven Community Index, Greater Hartford Community Wellbeing Index, Fairfield County Community Wellbeing Index – and other data reports on the Reports page of the DataHaven website.

3. DataHaven Community and Neighborhood Profiles – by area, town and neighborhood. We are currently updating this resource; please contact us if you can’t find the profile you need.

4. DataHaven Connecticut Town Equity Reports – more detailed reports and maps for all 169 towns in Connecticut, focusing on local differences in equity and well-being.

Some of our favorite outside sources of public safety data
1. State of Connecticut Open Data: Connecticut Fire Department Incidents as reported to the National Fire Department Incident Reporting System (NFIRS). https://data.ct.gov/Public-Safety/Connecticut-Fire-Department-Incidents-2012-2016-/qem9-rt8k
2. State of Connecticut Open Data: Other public safety data, including data on racial profiling and traffic stops collected through the The Alvin W. Penn Racial Profiling Prohibition Act, police-related incidents such as Uniform Crime Reporting offenses, and Department of Corrections data https://data.ct.gov/browse?category=Public%20Safety
3. FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program: “The UCR Program consists of four data collections: The National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), the Summary Reporting System (SRS), the Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA) Program, and the Hate Crime Statistics Program. Today, four annual publications are produced from data received from more than 18,000 city, university and college, county, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement agencies voluntarily participating in the program.” https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/ucr

This page facilitates access to data crosstabs from the DataHaven Community Wellbeing Survey (DCWS). This large survey program has completed over 50,000 live, in-depth interviews with randomly-selected adults in every Connecticut town in 2015, 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2024, and 2025, so results are available for all area regions, towns, and neighborhoods. 

As described in the crosstab methodology page, to ensure representativeness, all survey estimates that we create are weighted by age, race, gender, and geography in proportion to U.S. Census Bureau data from each region or town. 

Below, you may browse an list of regions and individual towns/cities for which we have created a printed crosstab. Data are available for many other towns and regions as well. You will find a summary of survey data for many towns in our Town Equity Reports, available for all 169 towns in Connecticut, and in some of the interactive tools on our Data Dashboard.

Please contact us with questions regarding data access; much more granular estimates for specific areas or specific demographic groups are often available on request.
