Hampden CDP, ME in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Hampden CDP is a small town in Maine, with 4,937 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #34 of 155 ranked by population — larger than 78% of them. The median age here is 40.5 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 Hampden CDP earn a median of $101,417 a year, 29.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 72% 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 5.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hampden CDP is valued at $270,100, 11% below the national figure and 22% above the $221,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $985 a month, 29.9% below the national figure, or roughly $11,820 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11.7% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 83.2% 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.
