Litchfield is a somewhat small town located in the state of Connecticut. With a population of 8,293 people and three associated neighborhoods, Litchfield is the 111th largest community in Connecticut.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 20.69% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
Because of many things, Litchfield is a very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, Litchfield really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Litchfield perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic nightlife, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live.
