By most health measures, Stamford does well. Adults here report frequent poor mental health days less often than in almost any of the 100 U.S. cities in this series, and rates of depression and fair or poor health are similarly low. Good numbers describe a city, though, not the people in it. If you are struggling in a place where most people appear to be doing fine, it can be harder to say so, not easier.

One figure does stand out. About one Stamford adult under 65 in eight has no health insurance, which is above the median for these cities and roughly double the rate in a typical Connecticut town. Several of the resources below set their fees by income or turn no one away for inability to pay.
