Hey folks, My family moved here when I was a kid. With a population of 133K, New Haven is a mid-size city. Poverty rate is 18.3%, which is higher than I expected. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Does this match your experience? Thanks! There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Property taxes are high but you get good services.
