Capitol Planning Region, not Hartford
Capitol Planning Region context, not Hartford figures
These are Capitol Planning Region figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Hartford measurements.
- Establishments in Capitol Planning Region23,642
- Employment at those establishments, Capitol Planning Region473,777
- Covered employment, Capitol Planning Region522,687
- Average annual pay, Capitol Planning Region$82,874
- Average weekly wage, Capitol Planning Region$1,594
- Housing units permitted, Capitol Planning Region1,618
- Of those, single family, Capitol Planning Region468
- County product, 2024, Capitol Planning Region$110,914,256,000
- Average income of an arriving household, Capitol Planning Region$75,536
Every figure in this section is published for Capitol Planning Region as a whole and is not a measurement of Hartford. It is here because a county backdrop is what a credit committee reads a place against, and it is labelled so that it can never be quoted as the place's own.

Coverage
What this page does not hold.
Every item below could be filled with a plausible figure. None of them is. On a page a lender may read, a number that cannot be traced is worse than an absence, so the absences are named.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- Parcel level detail, zoning and flood zone at an address are resolved in the platform, not on this page.
SBA figures count approvals to borrowers whose address is in the place. They are not approvals for projects inside the place boundary: the tape records a borrower city and a project county, and those can differ.
Common questions
Hartford questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Hartford, Connecticut?
121,127, in 49,028 households. Hartford city covers 17.38 square miles of land, which is 6,970 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Hartford in?
Capitol Planning Region, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
What is the median household income in Hartford?
$46,411. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $228,600. Median gross rent is $1,269 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Hartford businesses?
134 7(a) approvals totalling $35.6 m, across 30 lenders, median approval $100,000, plus 13 504 approvals worth $11.6 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Hartford, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Hartford borrowers get paid back?
Of the 15 loans that have reached a final outcome, 14 were paid in full and 1 charged off, a charge off rate of 6.7 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Are the county figures on this page Hartford figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Capitol Planning Region as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Hartford.
Is zoning published for Hartford?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
