East Millinocket, ME population, income and ZIP codes

East Millinocket CDP is a small town in Maine, with 1,545 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #81 of 155 ranked by population — larger than 48% of them. The median age here is 43.9 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 East Millinocket CDP earn a median of $44,306 a year, 43.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 25% below 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 18.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in East Millinocket CDP is valued at $73,900, 75.6% below the national figure and 67% below the $221,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $625 a month, 55.5% below the national figure, or roughly $7,500 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.9% 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 1.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 77.7% 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
