Connecticut Map Information
Connecticut is a popular destination for people that want to live close to New York City, but still want the small city lifestyle. Because of this, the property values are sky high which also translates to some of the best taken care of, and safest cities in America. You can also see the difference when you look at states by the per capita income, and median household income, where Connecticut is at the top of both groups. Even though it’s the 3rd smallest state by size, it ranks #29 in the most populated states.
The state nickname can be either the Nutmeg State, or the Constitution State, and the state motto is “He who transplanted still sustains”. The state flower is the “Mountain Laurel”. The state bird is the “American Robin”.
