Housing in Compo, in brief
Renting costs far less than owning
A two-bedroom rents for about $2,750 a month. Owning the typical Compo home, with 20% down at the calculator’s rate, runs about $13,220 with tax and insurance: 5 times as much. Can I afford it? ↓
Nearly every household owns
90% of Compo households own their home, against 67% across Connecticut. There are only 116 renter households, so rentals are scarce. Property taxes ↓
Written from the data on this page. There’s no Zillow index for Compo, so the typical value is an estimate: the Census median carried forward with the federal house price index; incomes, rents paid, taxes and ownership come from the Census American Community Survey.
Why Compo isn’t graded
The grade needs at least two of four Census figures: home value, rent, property tax and the share of households paying 30% or more for housing. Here only the home value is left.

“—” under Cost: not graded (too little Census data, or under 1,000 residents). “—” under Zillow: Zillow publishes no value for that town, so it’s left blank rather than mixed with Census figures. “+”: the Census reports the tax bill only as $10,000 or more, so the rate is at least that.
