Municipal Fiscal Indicators is an annual compendium of information compiled by the Office of Policy and Management, Office of Finance, Municipal Finance Services Unit (MFS). Municipal Fiscal Indicators contains the most current financial data available for each of Connecticut's 169 municipalities.

The data contained in Indicators provides key financial and demographic information on municipalities in Connecticut. The data includes selected demographic and economic data relating to, or having an impact upon, a municipality’s financial condition.

A bond rating is an evaluation by credit-rating agencies of a municipality’s or school district’s credit risk. A municipality's or school district’s bonds may be rated by more than one rating agency. The three major rating agencies are Moody’s Investor Services, Standard and Poor’s Corporation, and Fitch Incorporated.

The majority of this data was compiled from the audited financial statements that are filed annually with the State of Connecticut, Office of Policy and Management, Office of Finance. Unlike prior years' where the audited financial information was compiled by OPM, the FY 2020 and beyond information in this edition was based upon the self-reporting by municipalities of their own audited data.

The most recent edition is for the Fiscal Years Ended 2018-2022 published in September 2024.
