Gold Coast (Connecticut)

.

The region has been portrayed numerous times in popular culture as a wealthy bastion of conformity, immorality, or anomie, most notably in "The Stepford Wives", "The Ice Storm", and "Gentleman's Agreement".

The Gold Coast cities of Norwalk and Stamford have significant working class populations. The Gold Coast remains a region of marked income extremes, exacerbated by many middle-class residents moving out of the region because of the high cost of living.Fact|date=March 2007 (See Gentrification)
