Lower Fairfield County (Greenwich, Stamford, New Canaan and the like) wouldn't be "extreme commuting."

Those are some of the most desirable and expensive suburbs in the NYC metro. There are express trains during commuting hours. You can get from your home to office in Midtown in about an hour, which is a pretty standard commuting time, at least locally.

The extreme commuting suburbs are the cheaper suburbs, mostly not on rail lines, requiring bus commutes or drive to railroad suburbs. Lots of NJ suburbs are cheaper than equivalents in NY and CT because they require bus commute or rail transfer and there's a bottleneck crossing the Hudson.

Looking comparatively, not surprising to see San Francisco and Seattle as the least Christian and most nonreligious metros in the US. A bit surprising to see New York being more Catholic than Boston though.

I didn't say Lower Fairfield County. I just meant places in Fairfield County.

There are parts of Westchester and Fairfield that are easy commutes, and there are parts of both that are extreme commutes. It all depends where you are relative to a Metro North line into Grand Central. Danbury is still Fairfield County.
