Somers CDP, CT in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Somers CDP is a small town in Connecticut, with 2,081 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #115 of 215 ranked by population — larger than 46% of them. The median age here is 43.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Somers CDP earn a median of $67,203 a year, 14.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 30% below the $96,484 median for the 159 Connecticut cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 3.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Somers CDP is valued at $379,100, 25% above the national figure and 10% above the $344,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $895 a month, 36.3% below the national figure, or roughly $10,740 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16% 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 5.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 85.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. 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.
All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
