Then continue past Bridgeport and you have Milford/Orange/Woodbridge where people are, again, making six figures.

There is plenty of high incomes in central CT and a few other towns around the state. But yes there is a big gap from poor towns and the rich ones.

And up into Middlesex, Hartford and Tolland Counties where there is a lot of affluence and home prices are more reasonable. Jay

Part-time moves are never counted; most of the time, what is used is IRS State of Residence. IRS rule is where you spent 50% plus a day of year.

I've been touring wealthy shoreline communities in Guilford, Old Saybrook and Essex this summer and was shocked at the number of Florida plates I saw. I'd guess about 1 in 3 residents of those areas had FL plates on the car.

A little but it is pretty high in some towns. I was in an over 55 community this summer and noticed close to half the homes had Florida plate cars.
