Connecticut Correctional Community Program Daily Population by Gender

CT Department of Correction data provides daily counts of individuals in community programs, disaggregated by gender. The dataset tracks the total, female, and male populations for each program over time. Columns suggest it is a time-series record of correctional supervision outside of secure facilities.

Use Cases

• Tracking daily population trends for a specific Community Program using the Date and Total Count columns.
• Analyzing gender distribution within community corrections using the Female Count and Male Count columns.
• Comparing the scale of different Community Programs by aggregating their Total Count over time.
• Monitoring changes in community supervision populations before and after policy changes using the Date column.

Strengths

• Provides gender-disaggregated data, enabling analysis of demographic disparities.
• Appears on multiple platforms (Socrata, Data.gov), indicating established publication and potential importance.
• Data is updated frequently, with the most recent update listed as 2026-05-29.

Limitations

• Key metadata is missing or conflicting: row counts, file sizes, and license information are not provided across sources.
• The update date on Data.gov (2026-04-12) conflicts with the Socrata date (2026-05-29), creating uncertainty about the authoritative source.
• Lacks documentation on the definition of 'Community Program' and data collection methodology.
