American Community Survey rankings

Waterbury area census tract rankings

Compare 98 mapped census tracts on population, income, housing, education, origin and commuting. Every ranking uses U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019–2023 five-year estimates.

Percentage and median rankings exclude tracts with fewer than 500 residents to reduce unstable small-area estimates. The map remains available for every tract.
