What it’s like
The place. Middlefield is a town in Connecticut where the population is older than in much of the country, and where household incomes are higher than those of the typical American household. Fewer residents live below the poverty line than across the country, and homes here are priced above the typical American home. Winters are colder than in much of the country, July is the warmest month, and the town receives a good deal of rain and melted snow over the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in manufacturing. Others work in banks, insurance and property, or in the building trades. More adults hold a four-year degree here than across the country.
Things to do. Wadsworth Falls State Park, a waterfall, is in or beside town. The Yale University Art Gallery, a museum, is a longer drive away, and the Coginchaug River, a river, is a short drive away.

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 moderate. 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.
