What is going on everyone? How are you doing I hope better than this guy I
don't know what it is but I'd love to see people and things crash but I don't
like to see people hurt sort of weird it's like I love a good train wreck as
long as nobody's on the train speaking of train wrecks let's talk about
Connecticut last time I did a video about Connecticut I had a radio station
give me a call they were too happy Connecticut has been around for a while
it was first established in 1636 making it one of the original 13 colonies and
one of the first places in the new world to tell England to go F itself because
we were doing our own thing now Connecticut is the third smallest state
by arian 29th most populous state with about three and a half million people it
is also the most southern New England state that carries a couple nicknames my
favorite is the Nutmeg State because nutmeg reminds me of Christmas and a
really dirty joke that may seem like a strange combination of Christmas and
dirty jokes but it wouldn't be if you knew my Uncle Jack and spent a little
time with them during Christmas Connecticut has a strange demographic
situation it has a few of the richest towns in the country and a ton of dirt
poor ones now a lot of states have that kind of thing but they're the extreme
give you an example the average income among Connecticut highest earning
households was nearly 43 times the bottom 99 percent so that 1% is 43 times
what everyone else is making that's dwarfing the national ratio of 25 to one
like I said a few the best areas and a ton of the worst areas and since one of
the most popular searches on Google and YouTube is the word worst that's what
we're gonna take a look at that's what the people want and that's what the
people get so sit back and watch my top 10 worst towns in Connecticut
number 10 Bethel Connecticut Bethel is a small town of about 18,000 residents
just southeast of Danbury Bethel can be pretty dangerous and you can quickly
find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time fairly easy just last week a
fatal stabbing made the news as well as the fight was broken up by officers when
two residents began fighting each other one armed with a machete and the other
armed with a baseball bat you know when you've decided to go full
machete on your next-door neighbor it's time to move someplace where you don't
have any neighbors because you obviously can't be trusted with them
machete seems like an odd thing to arm yourself with this is Connecticut I
might be able to understand an axe handle or even an axe chainsaw maybe but
a machete it just doesn't make sense machetes more of a Florida thing you use
number nine Terryville Connecticut Terry Ville is home to five thousand residents
who probably don't be having too much of that education stuff education
Terryville doesn't seem to be high on the priority list it's like right below
getting one of those massage chairs for City Hall all the schools within the
town are rated as lower than 50 percent proficiency despite having a low student
population that's by area vibes calm area vibes gives Terry belt a d-minus in
schools and the - in cost living pretty much everything is a D or D - and
Terryville except for crime they have a decent
crime but they do have some car issues this is the type of place you want to
skip if you drive or you like your car in recent months they have had three
police chases in and around Terryville including one where a driver rammed a
police car to get away they also had a head-on collision which thankfully
everyone survived and a pickup ran into a local American Legion last November
now I get it you live in a big city that's like Tuesday they have less than
six thousand residents you move here make sure you buy a bumper car or
something like that or have a good lawyer good accident lawyer and really
good insurance you're gonna need it number eight Hazzard Ville Connecticut
Hazzard Ville already sounds like a place you shouldn't live or drive
through about five thousand people took that leap of faith and are probably
realizing about now that it was a bad move and they should have looked at the
name as a warning hazard Ville is not a place you want to move in hopes of
getting a job or maintaining one well the income per capita is about five
thousand dollars higher than the average the unemployment rate is also higher
than average with about 4.4 percent of the population being unemployed the
future job growth here is all so depressing since it's only about twenty
nine percent which is lower than the national average hazards Ville you know
it's another one that it's got a lot of bad stats except for crime crime seems
to be okay seems to be a theme here in Connecticut number seven Winsted
Connecticut Winstead is more of a vacation town since the still River runs
straight through town and just within a few miles are both Crystal and Highland
Lake this means finding a home here we'll be difficult and pretty expensive
if you actually do find one an updated house near the water will be around
seven to eight hundred thousand while a smaller outdated house further from the
water will still set you back about 150 thousand dollars which is above the
national average this is another place that sucks in each category but crime
it's not terrible here maybe spend a little less on cops and by at least one
computer for the schools it's like they're trying to save money at the
schools by teaching everyone the abacus telling them it's coming back we're
gonna be prepared if it comes back the unemployment rate in Winstead is twenty
four percent higher than the national average and the poverty level in
Winstead is thirty percent higher than the national average
number six Groton Connecticut Groton is located on the tames River and has about
30,000 residents when a person lives along a river near a lake or any body of
water you always worry about someone drowning in said body of water
unfortunately that has happened just within the last month not only that but
there was a daytime shooting by some teenagers which was unrelated to the
body in the water and a resident was charged with arson due to his house
Catching Fire someone's house Catching Fire they have some stupid things going
on here the town actually has a really low crime rate so those things were
really unusual everything else sucks according to area vibes calm schools
blow weather sucks housing costs are ridiculous and the cost of living is
offensive sort of like a Nicolas Cage movie man what happened to that dude I
know I brought that up on other videos but man I just like his videos nothing
if I was him I would just quit working speaking of not working the unemployment
rate in Groton is 17% higher than the national average number five North Canon
and Canon Connecticut North Canon may be one of the worst places for drunk
driving in Connecticut just this week middle-aged resident was arrested under
drunk driving charges after she was found driving on the wrong side of the
road if you're the area ever be aware and be careful have good car insurance
always you know get Geico whatever you can afford
not only that they had north canada resident makes some threats at the DMV
police said a DMV employee reported a customer made comments like today seems
like a good day to shoot to kill and implied he would be back another time in
this day and age that has got to be one of the stupidest things to do in a
government building to be fair this is all alleged he could have just been seen
ac/dc song shoot to thrill you know big a CD to see fan he's leaving the DMV
it's all excited he gets get out of that building saying that something maybe
he's depressed and said it's a good day to take a pill but he was armed when the
police picked him up so who knows other than dudes making threats at DMV workers
and old ladies not staying on their side of the road like most of rural
Connecticut they have really low crime everything
else sucks even amenities most the time amenities just middle throat this place
doesn't have anything to do here I mean except make threats down the DMV I
imagine the cost of living in this area is ten percent higher than the national
average number four Willimantic Connecticut Willimantic is home to about
17,000 residents this is not a place to go to find a job or settle down the
median income within the town is about $33,000 a year which is pretty low for a
town this size with low income in the town that means higher poverty rates
currently thirty percent of the population of Willimantic live in
poverty making the poverty level of Willimantic ninety-seven percent higher
than the national average the unemployment rate is eighty five percent
higher than the national average if you don't have a job or a trust fund
don't move here number three Sharon Connecticut the best part about Sharon
is taking a nap apparently really there's nothing else to do here most
people seem to move here just because of the close proximity to its neighboring
state New York but still being able to claim Connecticut residency why someone
would prefer to tell people they live in Connecticut over New York is beyond me
maybe it has something to do with not wanting to be associated with the New
York Jets who knows the only thing the town really has going for it is the
Housatonic River it runs right along the eastern border of the town maybe the
river is why it's so expensive here the average home will cost about four
hundred thousand which is extremely high for Connecticut's averages housing is
too expensive schools aren't great the weather sucks and the cost of living is
higher than Tommy Chong they've no crime no amenities so they aren't even
committing crimes for entertainment here this place is boring the cost of living
as Sharon is 30% higher than the national average the cost of housing is
88% higher than the national average this is in the middle of nowhere
Connecticut I don't get it number two and Sonia Connecticut and Sonia is
located on the Naugatuck River like all others on this list there's no real
excitement or crime here that is until you get these dillweeds behind the
vehicle the town has an alarming high rate of incidents with automobiles just
within the last two weeks two residents were struck in a parking lot one lost
the leg anin Sonia woman faces charges including driving under the influence
after her car struck an apartment building on Cherry Street in Milford in
June a fire hydrant was launched 30 feet from its base after a driver crashed
into it and twin brothers carjacked a delivery driver
fun times stay safe in this town everyone now there's not a lot going on
I mean besides really really bad drivers in this town everything sucks
except for crime and that's it that's the only thing they have everything else
is an F housing is too expensive schools aren't too great weather is horrible
unemployment isn't great the only thing they got going for him is little to no
crime again until these people get behind the wheel of a vehicle and number
one Putnam Connecticut but gnam has a population of around 7,000 residents and
is located in the northeastern area of the state being so far away from all the
larger cities employment opportunities aren't the best here the median home
income is slightly lower than the national average with about ten percent
of the population living in poverty the unemployment rate in Putnam is about 60
percent higher than the national average and finally we have a small town in
Connecticut that doesn't have an A grade for crime they have a B but they also
have less than 8,000 people living here so if you take too many sugar packets
from the Starbucks two days in a row you technically have a crime spree going on
the good news is that the home prices are relatively low here so if you're
lucky enough to have a job which apparently not a lot of people do here
you might be able to score a home loan and if the stats paint an accurate
picture not a lot of locals went on to college so your chances of getting the
mortgage won't be hampered by some student loan debt the weird thing about
Putnam is the home prices are low everything else is greater than F so you
have a high cost of living but low home prices they they usually go hand in hand
they're usually the same but no they they're doing their own thing here so
yeah if you get past the boredom and the weather
not having a job Putnam's not a bad place but yeah it's a bad place in
reality all right so that's my top 10 worst small towns in Connecticut now
here's the thing about Connecticut Mantic it's not that bad I mean sure
Hartford and New Haven and you know some of the other bigger towns cities aren't
the best a matter of fact they have a good amount of crime in Hartford and
it's pretty depressing city in a lot of cases
Connecticut's not a bad state once you get away from them but that is my list I
hope you guys enjoyed it hope you got some information out of it don't forget
