2010 PUMAs with Planning Region Overlay
The map below shows where 2010 PUMAs are compared to planning regions (COGs). The groups of towns touching one another (contiguous) that are the same color indicate that they are part of the same PUMA. There are currently 26 PUMAs in Connecticut. You can see in the map below that some of the PUMAs (for example, the one containing Burlington, Bristol, and Southington) cross three COG boundaries. This is an example of a PUMA that we might want to change if the state moves from Counties to COGs. Scroll to the end of this page to provide feedback.
2010 PUMAs with County Overlay
The map below shows where the 2010 PUMAs fall in relation to the County lines. The groups of towns touching one another (contiguous) that are the same color indicate that they are part of the same PUMA. Notice Burlintgon, Bristol, and Southingon. These towns are widely different in size, median income, and demographics. This is one example of a PUMA that we as a state might choose to change in order to combine towns that are more similar.
