What it’s like

The place. Windham is a town in northeastern Connecticut, and its village of Willimantic has long been known for its textile mills. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a good deal over the year, and many households here rent their homes rather than own them.

Work. Residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and in manufacturing. Working from home is uncommon here, so most people head out to a workplace each day.

Things to do. The Natchaug and Willimantic rivers run in or beside town, and Beaver Brook State Park is also in or beside town, so there are easy places to spend time outdoors. Mansfield Hollow State Park, a protected area a short drive away, is another option for a day outside. The Windham Textile and History Museum, in or beside town, is devoted to the area's textile and local history.

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 Worcester, MA-CT metro.
