We could not match one HUD fair-market rent to Northeastern Connecticut Planning Region. Some counties have more than one HUD rent, and we do not average them.

Connecticut's prices sit at 103.6 when the U.S. average is 100. This place is not in a metro area with its own index, so this is the state number from BEA for 2024.
