Not your father's Nutmeg State

Without the continued influx of foreign-born immigrants, the population in Connecticut is expected to potentially shrink in the next few years, according to a study by the Connecticut State Data Center at the University of Connecticut.

Connecticut’s white population, which is currently 77 percent, will account for just barely 61 percent of the state’s population by 2030, according to their press release.

This is the first statewide and town-by-town population projections compiled for Connecticut in twelve years.
