Connecticut block group boundary data located in the Census Bureau's 2020
TIGER/Line Shapefiles. The poverty data used to determine which block groups
qualified as EJ communities (see CT State statute 22a-20a) was based on the
Census Bureau's 2020 ACS 5-year estimate. This poverty data was joined with the
block group boundaries in ArcPro. Block groups in which the percent of the
population below 200% of the federal poverty level was greater than or equal to
30.0 were selected and the resulting selection was exported as a new shapefile.
The block groups were then clipped so that only those block groups outside of
distressed municipalities were displayed. Maintenance – This layer will be
updated annually and will coincide with the annual distressed municipalities
update (around August/September). The latest ACS 5-year estimate data should be
used to update this layer. Environmental Justice Distressed Municipalities 2020
was created from Connecticut town boundary data located in the Census Bureau's
2020 TIGER/Line Shapefiles (County Subdivisions). </span></p>

select the distressed municipalities by town name (note: the list of 2022
distressed municipalities was provided by the CT Department of Economic and
Community Development). The selection was then exported a new shapefile. The
“Union” tool was used to unite the new shapefile with tribal lands (American
Indian Area Geography) boundary data from the 2020 TIGER/Line files. In the
resulting layer, the tribal lands were deleted so only the distressed
municipalities remained. Maintenance – This layer will be updated annually when
the DECD produces its new list of distressed municipalities (around
August/September).</span></p>

Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development, includes
municipalities that no longer meet the threshold requirements but are still in
a 5-year grace period. (See definition at CGS Sec. 32-9p(b).) Fitting into that
grace period, eight towns continue to be eligible for distressed municipality
benefits because they dropped off the list within the last five years. Those
are Enfield, Killingly, Naugatuck, Plymouth, New Haven, Preston, Stratford, and
Voluntown.</span></p>

COVID-19 Updated (Bivalent) Vaccination Coverage By Town and Age Group - ARCHIVED

<strong>These tables will stop being updated after June 1, 2023.  COVID-19 vaccination reporting is expected to resume when a new COVID-19 vaccination formulation is authorized.</strong></p>

As 4/22/2023, CDC recommends bivalent vaccine for everyone regardless of age and whether or not the person has had prior monovalent vaccine. 

This table shows the cumulative number and percentage of people who have received an updated (bivalent) COVID-19 vaccine by current town of residence and age group.

•	Data are reported weekly on Thursday and include doses administered to Saturday of the previous week. 

•	All data in this report are preliminary. Data for previous weeks may be changed because of delays in reporting, deduplication, or correction of errors.

•	The table groups people based on their current age and excludes people known to be deceased.  

•	The analyses here are based on data reported to CT WiZ which is the immunization information system for CT. Connecticut COVID-19 Vaccine Program providers are required to report to CT WiZ all COVID-19 doses administered in CT including to CT residents and to residents of other jurisdictions. CT Wiz also receives records on CT residents vaccinated in other jurisdictions and by federal entities which share data with CT WiZ electronically (currently:  RI, NJ, New York City, DE, Philadelphia, NV, Indian Health Service, Department of Veterans Affairs (doses administered since 11/2022)).   Electronic data exchange is being added jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction.  Once a jurisdiction is added to CT WiZ, the records for residents of that jurisdiction vaccinated in CT are removed. For example, when CT residents vaccinated in NYC were added, NYC residents vaccinated in CT were removed.

•	Town-level coverage estimates have been capped at 100%.  Observed coverage may be greater than 100% for multiple reasons, including census denominator data not including all individuals that currently reside in the town (e.g., part time residents, change in population size since the census), errors in address data or other reporting errors.

•	Town of residence is verified by geocoding the reported address and then mapping it a town using municipal boundaries.  If an address cannot be geocoded, the reported town is used.  

•	Rows with less than 5 people are suppressed. 

•	CT DPH 2019 census data are used to create town-level cumulative percentage estimates.  CT DPH 2014 census data are used to create cumulative percentage estimates for specific age groups.  Both use the latest available data. 

•	Caution should be used when interpreting coverage estimates for towns with large college/university populations since coverage may be underestimated. In the census, college/university students who live on or just off campus would be counted in the college/university town. However, if a student was vaccinated in his/her hometown, the student may be counted as a vaccine recipient in that town.
Tidal Wetlands 1990s

In 1995 it was recognized that current Connecticut tidal wetland boundary information was critical to ensure the appropriate management and protection of the tidal wetlands resource. At this time the 1970's maps had become increasingly dated, with the growth of new tidal wetland areas and the restoration of others. The maps were contributing to the confusion over state versus municipal wetland jurisdiction. It was in this climate that the current project was conceived. The aim of this mapping effort was to provide current, geometrically correct tidal wetland map products that would serve as a guide to the jurisdictional boundaries for federal, state and municipal regulators and private land holders.
'Tidal Wetlands' are defined as follows: 'Tidal Wetlands' means 'wetland' as defined by C.G.S.Sec. 22a-29. C.G.S.Sec.22a-93(7)(E). 'Wetland' means those areas which border or lie beneath tidal waters, such as, but not limited to banks, bogs, salt marshes, swamps, meadows, flats, or other low lands subject to tidal action, including those areas now or formerly connected to tidal waters, and whose surface is at or below an elevation of one foot above local extreme high water; and upon which may grow or be capable of growing some but not necessarily all, of the following: (See the statute for a complete listing of tidally influenced plant species) C.G.S.Sec.22a-29(2).
Thus, the actual tidal wetland boundary is determined by the application of these criteria, including identifying the presence or absence of tidally influenced plants. While the field determination of these criteria results in the most accurate tidal wetland boundary delineation, the identification of different plant types and low lying areas can also be achieved, at a high level of accuracy, through the use of large scale, stereo aerial photography. This latter method was determined as being the most efficient method to delineate vegetated tidal wetlands across the entire state of Connecticut. It should be noted that similarly to the previous tidal wetlands mapping efforts, no attempt was made to delineate those areas that were formerly connected to tidal flow, as these areas are difficult to identify by either field or photo interpretation techniques.
The area mapped in the Tidal Wetlands 1990's datalayer includes all tidal, coastal and navigable waters and tidal wetlands of Connecticut with the exception of the Lower Connecticut River, which was mapped as part of the 1994 Ramsar Convention program. Between both programs, a total of 15,178 acres of tidal wetlands were mapped.
