2026 ALICE Report

42% of households in Coastal and Western CT earn incomes below the cost of living threshold.

 

ALICE families have been overlooked and undercounted by traditional poverty measures. ALICE is the nation’s child care workers, home health aides and cashiers heralded during the pandemic – those working low-wage jobs, with little or no savings and one emergency away from poverty.
