Cycling in Connecticut, town by town.

We cover 215 places in Connecticut, 17 with a full Compass profile so far, and, among the 77 large enough for a reliable Census read, 3 show a bike-to-work share above one percent. Long Hill CDP (Southeastern Connecticut County) has the highest measured share of the reliable set.

Every incorporated place and community the Census lists in Connecticut, with the two numbers public data gives us cheaply: how many people live there, and the share who bike to work. A town with a full Compass links straight to it.

Source · Bike-to-work share and population from the US Census 2022 ACS 5-year (tables B08301, B01003); coordinates and land area from the Census Gazetteer. Shares marked "small sample" come from places too small for a reliable ACS estimate, so read them as rough.
