Head to head
County vs Connecticut vs the nationEvery figure below is measured against the same figure for the state and for the country. Where HUD suppressed the county's value, the row says so and no verdict is drawn - a missing number is not a good one.

The wait is the time households who were admitted spent waiting. Everyone still on a list is absent from HUD's file entirely, so the true wait here is longer than the figure above. "Need" is extremely-low-income renter households from HUD CHAS (2017-2021 ACS); supply is the HUD Picture file (2025). Cells HUD marked -1 (missing), -4 (suppressed, fewer than 11 families) or -5 (non-reporting) are shown as "no data" and never averaged. See the methodology.
