Hallowell city, ME in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Hallowell city is a small town in Maine, with 2,570 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #56 of 155 ranked by population — larger than 64% of them. The median age here is 49.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Hallowell city earn a median of $58,811 a year, 25.1% 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. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 12% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hallowell city is valued at $266,700, 12.1% below the national figure and 20% above the $221,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $830 a month, 41% below the national figure, or roughly $9,960 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 4.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 57.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
