Rural Bridgeport & Prairie Du Chien Volunteer Fire Department
The Connecticut Office of Rural Health (CT-ORH) defines rural towns based on a total population of 10,000 residents or fewer and a population density of less than 500 people per square mile. This definition, revised in November 2022 and updated in February 2025, determines eligibility for financial support and grants from the CT-ORH.
In total, 78 towns in Connecticut meet the combined state and federal definitions of rural, which include various census tracts and partial towns. The CT-ORH also encourages residents to verify their area's rural status for federal grant eligibility through the HRSA website and the Rural Health Information hub.
