Best Cities for Remote Workers in Connecticut

Connecticut ranks #38 out of 50 for remote workers — a state where remote workers may face some headwinds. Remote work fundamentally changes the relocation calculus: when your salary comes from elsewhere, what matters is how far it stretches locally and how good daily life feels. Connecticut's cost of living (index: 104) is near the national average, so a remote salary doesn't gain or lose much purchasing power here.

The high work-from-home rate of 12.6% suggests an established remote work culture with coworking spaces and digital infrastructure already in place. Broadband coverage is excellent at 97.6%, so reliable internet shouldn't be a concern.

Taxes are moderate at 9.9% of income — not a major draw but not a dealbreaker. Housing affordability (score: 42/100) is a concern — the median home costs $415,000, a manageable ratio for most remote salaries.
