About Stamford

Stamford is a larger medium-sized coastal town (ie. on the ocean or tidally-influenced rivers) located in the state of Connecticut. With a population of 117,083 people and 24 constituent neighborhoods, Stamford is the fourth largest community in Connecticut.

Unlike some towns where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Stamford is neither predominently one or the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Stamford is a town of sales and office workers, managers, and professionals. There are especially a lot of people living in Stamford who work in office and administrative support jobs (14.75%), management occupations (12.70%), and sales jobs (11.77%).

Also of interest is that Stamford has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

One thing noticeable about Stamford, although not a huge town, is that it has a large population of people who are young, single, educated, and upwardly-mobile career starters. That's because Stamford is full of single people in their 20s and 30s and who have undergraduate or graduate degrees and are starting careers in professional occupations. This makes Stamford a pretty good place for young, educated career starters looking to find many people like themselves, with good opportunities for friendships, socializing, romance, and fun.

In addition to being popular with young singles, Stamford is also home to many people who can be described as "urban sophisticates," which are people who are not only wealthy and employed in professional occupations, but highly educated to boot. Urban sophisticates have urbane tastes - whether they reside in a big or small city, a suburb, or a little town. Urban sophisticates support bookstores, quality clothing stores, enjoy luxury travel, and in big cities, they are truly the patrons of the arts, attending and supporting institutions such as opera, symphony, ballet, and theatre.

One of the nice things about Stamford is that is it nautical, meaning that parts of the town are somewhat historic and on the ocean, or touch tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and tidal rivers. Because of this, visitors and locals will often go to these areas to take in the scenery or to enjoy waterfront activities.

Stamford has quite a few people who use public transportation to get to work each day, primarily riding the train.
