What it’s like
The place. Somers is a small Connecticut community in which nearly all homes are lived in by their owners, a much higher share of owners than in most places. Household incomes are somewhat modest for the price of a typical home, and few residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and highs staying close to freezing, while July is pleasantly warm, and a good deal of rain and melted snow falls over the year.
Work. Commutes are long here, longer than in many places, which suggests that many residents travel some distance to reach their jobs. A fair number of people work from home instead and skip the drive altogether.
Things to do. Shenipsit State Forest is a protected area a short drive away, and the Shenipsit Trail runs in or beside town for those who like to walk. Six Flags New England, an amusement park, is also a short drive away. For a longer outing, the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art and the Mark Twain House are both museums a longer 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 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.
