Excerpt:
New Haven is a diverse city with deep and enduring economic and social disparities. Approximately 25% of residents live in poverty, compared to 10% statewide. An additional 40% struggle to afford basic necessities like housing and food. While intricately tied, poverty is just one of several issues that drives hunger. Unemployment, low-wage jobs, transportation, and family resources also make it difficult for people to access the food they need to thrive.
This index facilitates access to data crosstabs from the DataHaven Community Wellbeing Survey (DCWS). This large survey program has completed 45,000 live, in-depth interviews with randomly-selected adults in every Connecticut town in 2015, 2018, 2020, 2021, and 2022, so results are available for a large number of regions, towns, and neighborhoods.
