Connecticut is the type of place that in Europe would generally vote for the centre-right party. Indeed it was Republican at the presidential level in the 70s and 80s, turning D in 1992 and so far never looking back. College-educated and wealthy is part of it, as well as cosmopolitan, secular values, which explains why it turned Dem when many wealthy Southern and Midwestern suburbs didn’t.
As has been mentioned, until 2016, the richest areas of Fairfield County actually voted Republican (although these areas were far too small to influence the statewide vote) while the WWC has held up reasonably well by comparison to the rest of the country for Democrats.
