The City of Hartford said housing affordability is a challenge, just like it is in other areas of the state.
“Like other cities in Connecticut, housing affordability is a challenge we’re working to meet head-on by investing in affordable housing and homeownership opportunities for our residents. At the same time, costs of living are a fraction of what they are in other major cities, which is one reason almost half of our new downtown residents are from either New York or Boston," city officials said in a statement.
"The data for this report does not match the reality of what we’re seeing on the ground in Hartford," the statement reads.
