Bridgton, ME population, income and ZIP codes

Bridgton CDP is a small town in Maine, with 1,666 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #77 of 155 ranked by population — larger than 50% of them. The median age here is 41.3 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 Bridgton CDP earn a median of $58,992 a year, 24.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of the $58,992 median for the 106 Maine cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 31.6% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bridgton CDP is valued at $239,200, 21.2% below the national figure and 8% above the $221,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $747 a month, 46.9% below the national figure, or roughly $8,964 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.2% 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 4.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 83.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
