South Windham CDP, CT in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

South Windham CDP is a small town in Connecticut, with 1,391 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #143 of 215 ranked by population — larger than 33% of them. The median age here is 39.9 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 South Windham CDP earn a median of $72,917 a year, 7.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 24% 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 16.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in South Windham CDP is valued at $217,700, 28.2% below the national figure and 37% below the $344,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,207 a month, 14.2% below the national figure, or roughly $14,484 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.9% 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 3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 70.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
