Brief Overview Of Connecticut
Though Connecticut is the third smallest state in the United States, its contributions are many. It can be termed as “land of firsts” that gave the nation - first municipal town libraries, first turnpike, first medical diploma, Ph.D. degree, and law school; first newspaper and telephone exchange; first helicopter; first artificial heart; and even the first Frisbee!

The cost of living is almost equal to the national average with the exception of a little higher car insurance costs. (for a picture of what is the likely impact of relocation on your pocket, we have “Compare Two States” option click to check it out.)

The cost of living is lower than the national average by almost 20%. Contrary to the general tendency of the southern states, the state ranks well in the new economy index standing 16th overall and 5th in the aspect of economic dynamism. More than half of the population has access to internet (64.1%).

The temperatures throughout the year are lower than the national average. With a rainfall higher than national average and the sun appearing for a lesser number of days, CT is ideal for people who are looking for these features.
