Understanding Financial Hardship in Southington

Think about the people who keep our community running every day — the home health aide checking in on an elderly neighbor, the cashier at the grocery store, the delivery driver making sure packages arrive on time. These are people with jobs, people put in effort, people who contribute. And in many cases, they are people who still can't make ends meet. It's a reality that doesn't always show up in the headlines. But the numbers tell a clear story — and it's one that every Southington resident deserves to understand.
