Berwick CDP, ME in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Berwick CDP is a small town in Maine, with 2,085 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #66 of 155 ranked by population — larger than 57% of them. The median age here is 42.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Berwick CDP earn a median of $64,864 a year, 17.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 10% above the $58,992 median for the 106 Maine cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 5.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Berwick CDP is valued at $309,600, 2% above the national figure and 40% above the $221,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,044 a month, 25.7% below the national figure, or roughly $12,528 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.3% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 69.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
