Wauregan CDP, CT in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Wauregan CDP is a small town in Connecticut, with 1,209 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #152 of 215 ranked by population — larger than 29% of them. The median age here is 36 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Wauregan CDP earn a median of $90,625 a year, 15.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 6% 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.

The typical owner-occupied home in Wauregan CDP is valued at $240,400, 20.8% below the national figure and 30% below the $344,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,175 a month, 16.4% below the national figure, or roughly $14,100 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.6% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 69.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners.
