Village to town lookup

Description

A crosswalk of Connecticut's Census-designated places (CDP) to the towns (county subdivisions) intersecting with them. With the 2010 boundaries, places were generally each within a single town, but the 2020 boundaries increased the number of places, including ones that span multiple towns. This table now has weights to show how much of a place's population is in the associated town. This version also includes all places, not just ones that differ from the corresponding town. Note that places don't span the full state. All populations are from the 2020 decennial census, and overlaps are based on fitting blocks within places.
