Connecticut's real, graduated income tax
Connecticut's top individual income tax rate runs a real, current 6.99% (2024 reforms), with seven graduated brackets from 2% on the first $10,000. Social Security is genuinely exempt for most retirees below the state's AGI thresholds (base record).
A favorable statewide insurance baseline
No Glastonbury-specific homeowners-insurance figure was found this pass; Connecticut's statewide average premium ran approximately $2,252/year, well below the national average of approximately $5,874/year -- though Glastonbury's own real Connecticut River floodplain exposure may raise premiums for specific riverside properties (base record).
