The place. Burlington is a Connecticut town where most homes are lived in by their owners rather than rented out. Many residents hold a degree, and a good share of people work from home at least part of the time. Winters are cold and snowy, summers are warm, and rain falls through much of the year.
Work. Jobs in Burlington are spread across schools, hospitals and social care, professional and business services, banks, insurance and property, and manufacturing. Household incomes here are well above the national norm, and very few residents live below the poverty line.

Lake Compounce, an amusement park a short drive away, offers rides and outings for the whole family. Nepaug State Forest, a protected area a short drive away, is a quiet place for walking among the trees.

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 low. 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.
