What it’s like
The place. Avon is a town in north-central Connecticut, close to the state capital of Hartford. Most homes are lived in by their owners, more than in most of the country, and home values run high compared with most of the country. Winters are cold and snowy, summers are warm, and rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, professional and business services, banks, insurance and property, and manufacturing. Most adults hold a degree, and a good share of people work from home, more than in most places. The typical commute is shorter than in many larger towns, so many residents spend less time on the road each day.
Things to do. The Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art and the Mark Twain House are both a short drive away, and the first is one of the best known art museums in New England. The Metacomet Trail runs in or beside town, which makes it an easy choice for a walk close to home.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across its planning region, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on and the Hartford-East Hartford-Middletown, CT metro.
