Bantam borough, CT in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Bantam borough is a very small community in Connecticut, with 762 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #169 of 215 ranked by population — larger than 21% of them. The median age here is 49.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Bantam borough earn a median of $51,406 a year, 34.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 47% below the $96,484 median for the 159 Connecticut cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 12.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bantam borough is valued at $292,000, 3.8% below the national figure and 15% below the $344,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $666 a month, 52.6% below the national figure, or roughly $7,992 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 45.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
