Cornish, ME population, income and ZIP codes

Cornish CDP is a small town in Maine, with 1,080 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #101 of 155 ranked by population — larger than 35% of them. The median age here is 40.4 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 Cornish CDP earn a median of $68,561 a year, 12.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 16% above the $58,992 median for the 106 Maine cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 7.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Cornish CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $1,170 a month, 16.8% below the national figure, or roughly $14,040 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. 79.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

The Census withheld home value for Cornish CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
