Hartford has a far smaller white population, and it's a far poorer city. You are right it's almost entirely attributable to Yale - but college towns in general are considered attractive places to live due to the local amenities they provide.

The problem with these statistics is that it includes only about 18 square miles of inner city neighborhoods. There are some very affluent neighborhoods within 2 miles of downtown (Hartford) that are not included in these statistics because they are in West Hartford.
