WHERE REDDING, CT'S EMPLOYED RESIDENTS GO TO WORK:
Stay To Work In Redding Itself: As a residential area off of major transportation routes and without significant zoning for business uses, the percentage of employed residents remaining in Redding each day for their livelihood is low compared to neighboring towns such as Ridgefield and Newtown. The figures are 18% for 1970, 17% for 1980, 18% for 1990 and then 20% for 2000, bucking the regional trend of continuous municipal decline for this variable.
