Connecticut's population in the year to July 2025

On July 1, 2025, Connecticut had an estimated 3,688,496 residents, 14,047 more than a year earlier (+0.38%). Ranked by that rate of change, it is 30th of the 50 states and DC.

Components of change in the year to July 2025
  • Natural change (births minus deaths)+2,283
  • Net international migration+17,534
  • Net domestic migration (other states)−5,945

Net international migration (17,534) and natural change (2,283) added people, while net domestic migration (5,945) took them away; the gains were the larger side. Births outnumbered deaths, 34,700 to 32,417. The remaining 175 is the Census Bureau's residual, change the three parts do not explain.

Net domestic migration came to minus 1.6 per 1,000 residents, 40th among the 50 states and DC. Counting international arrivals too, net migration was 3.1 per 1,000.

Against the April 2020 estimates base of 3,607,750, the 2025 estimate is up 2.2%.

The state-to-state survey could not establish which way Connecticut's balance with other states ran; the 2025 estimate puts net domestic migration at −5,945.
