Berlin profile


Living in Berlin



Berlin is a medium-sized town located in the state of Connecticut. With a population of 20,197 people and four associated neighborhoods, Berlin is the 56th largest community in Connecticut.

Also of interest is that Berlin has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 12.50% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

Because of many things, Berlin is a very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, Berlin really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Berlin perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic nightlife, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live.

The citizens of Berlin are among the most well-educated in the nation: 44.85% of adults in Berlin have a bachelor's degree or even advanced degree, whereas the average US city has 21.84% holding at least a bachelor's degree.

The per capita income in Berlin in 2022 was $55,463, which is middle income relative to Connecticut, and wealthy relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $221,852 for a family of four.
