Danbury is a city in Brazoria County, Texas, United States. The population was 1,715 at the 2010 census.
Danbury is located northeast of the center of Brazoria County at 29°13′43″N 95°20′48″W / 29.22861°N 95.34667°W (29.228694, -95.346574), next to Flores Bayou. It is 7 miles (11 km) northeast of Angleton, the county seat. According to the United States Census Bureau, Danbury has a total area of 0.97 square miles (2.5 km2), all of it land.
In 2006 the average elevation was 21.4 feet (6.5 m) above mean sea level (MSL), which reflects a 0.168-inch (4.3 mm) negative deviation compared to a 1998 study. This decrease is believed to be caused by the extraction of groundwater (9% of total declination), the extraction of petroleum products (88% of total declination) with a probable calculated seasonal difference in soil moisture accounting for the remainder. At the present rate of change, Danbury will lose approximately 2.18 inches (55 mm) of elevation per 100 years, which is a rate 42 times faster than similarly situated areas.
As of the census of 2000, there were 1,611 people, 554 households, and 442 families residing in the city. The population density was 1,678.1 people per square mile (647.9/km²). There were 586 housing units at an average density of 610.4 per square mile (235.7/km²).
