Fairfield County has the highest median home value in Connecticut at $700,489. This is often searched as the "richest" or "wealthiest" county in Connecticut — though it's worth being precise about what's being measured here: median home value reflects property prices, not household income or net worth. The two usually correlate, but a county can have expensive homes without having the highest-earning residents, particularly in areas with a lot of vacation or second homes.
Windham County has the lowest median home value of the 8 Connecticut counties tracked here, at $379,065. Keep in mind that low home prices often reflect limited local job markets, distance from major metro areas, or shrinking population — affordability alone doesn't tell you whether somewhere is a good fit.
