Unemployment rose 2.4 percentage points over the 12 months ending July 2026, faster than 100% of similar-size cities.

Broader trend
Multi-year view: unemployment is 0.3 percentage points higher than in 2022 (5.9% then, 6.2% now), but the direction has turned: after bottoming near 4.8% in 2023 it has risen each year since. That recent climb is movement in the wrong direction.
Longer view
Unemployment fell about 0.2 percentage points a year from 2015 to 2025.
Latest
Most recent monthly reading: 8.9% in July 2026, up from 6.5% a year earlier.

SNAP fell 3.2 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 31.8% to 28.6% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.1pp). That reverses the previous span, which went up between the 2009-2013 and 2014-2018 surveys.

Broader trend
33% of similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction; 20% moved the other way. Waterbury started among the weakest third of similar-size cities, so some rebound is expected; still, the improvement is sustained and worth investigating.
Longer view
Snap rose 1.0 percentage points from 2013 to 2023 (27.6% to 28.6%).

▸ Where is this changing? 28 census tracts
Each tract is colored and ranked by its change from 2019 to 2024, between the same two survey periods as the card above, as a share of its own starting level: blue tracts rose, orange tracts fell. Tracts marked * moved less than their own survey margin, so their color is a direction, not a claim. Hover a tract for its numbers and history, or a table row to find that tract on the map; click either for its location or its data in the Explorer.

Change is measured between each place's two non-overlapping survey periods against its published margins (90% confidence). significant improvement · significant worsening · not significant (within the margin). Change rank orders every measured change; read it with the dot beside it, ranks among hollow-dot rows are ordering values inside their margins. Today's rank orders current values in the metric's better direction.
