Brooklyn is a somewhat small town located in the state of Connecticut. With a population of 8,708 people and two associated neighborhoods, Brooklyn is the 109th largest community in Connecticut.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 10.69% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

Because of many things, Brooklyn is a very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, Brooklyn really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Brooklyn perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic nightlife, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live.

Being a small town, Brooklyn does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.

The population of Brooklyn overall has a level of education that is slightly above the US average for all US cities and towns of 21.84%. Of adults 25 and older in Brooklyn, 23.87% have at least a bachelor's degree.
