Connecticut by the Numbers is the state’s leading numbers-driven news website, in its 12th year of operation in 2023.  The news site, www.ctbythenumbers.news, provides articles focused on public policy issues and demographic data, including reporting on education, environment, transportation, finance, healthcare, tourism, public safety, housing, business and nonprofits.

The site also features weekend Perspective columns from contributing writers, sharing viewpoints of interest to Connecticut residents on issues facing the state.  The opinion columns, published on weekends, appear under the “perspeCTive” banner, and reflect the opinion of the author, not necessarily CT by the Numbers.
