New Haven is the second-largest metro in Connecticut, with roughly 870,000 residents. The city benefits from a diverse array of industry sectors, with its most prominent being the education and health services sector, accounting for around 30% of total employment. This segment boasts a robust network of healthcare providers like Yale New Haven Health System and higher-education institutions such as Yale University and Quinnipiac University. This symbiosis has led to New Haven becoming a biotechnology hub, boosting employment and demand for lab space in recent years. Additionally, the New Haven metro features strong employment in trade, transportation, and utilities, which accounts for roughly 19% of the workforce. While the metro itself hasn't grown much, increased distribution and warehousing needs and a well-positioned location along Interstate 95 between major markets like New York and Boston have spurred growth in this sector, doubling transportation and utilities employment since 2019.
