Where Connecticut ranks
Connecticut holds the 33rd-largest count of registrants we index among the 56 US jurisdictions — just behind Washington (≈6,380) and ahead of West Virginia (≈5,450). Connecticut's rate of 1.6 registrants indexed per 1,000 residents ranks 40th among the US jurisdictions with at least 1,000 indexed records, against a national average of about 4.7 per 1,000. Absolute size and per-capita rate order the states very differently — the full rankings are on the count ranking and the per-capita ranking.
Housing status (national estimate). No per-state housing figure is published here, because our housing data is a national sample estimate: across 6,668 sampled records nationwide, 5.7% of registrants with a known housing status were homeless or had no fixed address as of August 2026. That figure describes the country, not Connecticut — the breakdown is on the national statistics page.

How many registered sex offenders live in Connecticut?
As of August 2026, we index about 5,880 sex-offender registry records in Connecticut — the 33rd-most of the 56 US jurisdictions. That is a count of the records in our continuously updated index, not Connecticut's official figure: registries add, remove and amend records all the time, so the live answer for a specific person comes from a search, not a table.
How many sex offenders does Connecticut have per capita?
About 1.6 registrants indexed per 1,000 residents, using the 2020 Census population as the denominator. Connecticut's rate of 1.6 registrants indexed per 1,000 residents ranks 40th among the US jurisdictions with at least 1,000 indexed records, against a national average of about 4.7 per 1,000. A rate describes the size of a registry relative to population — jurisdictions differ in who must register, for how long, and which registrants they publish, so it is a scale comparison rather than a safety measure.
Are these Connecticut's official registry numbers?
No — they are approximate counts of the registrants we index for Connecticut, rounded to three significant figures and dated to August 2026. Jurisdictions count different things (people, registrations, addresses) and publish on their own terms, so no single official national table exists. For a legal or research purpose that requires Connecticut's official figure, request it from the state registry authority.
Registry data is not a consumer report, and decisions made on it are regulated in that use.
