Jonesport, ME population, income and ZIP codes

Jonesport CDP is a very small community in Maine, with 634 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #123 of 155 ranked by population — larger than 20% of them. The median age here is 39.6 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 Jonesport CDP earn a median of $65,938 a year, 16% below the national figure of $78,538 and 12% above 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 17.6% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Jonesport CDP is valued at $122,200, 59.7% below the national figure and 45% below the $221,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $260 a month, 81.5% below the national figure, or roughly $3,120 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 4.7% 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 1.9×, 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. 53.5% 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.

With 634 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Jonesport CDP against its county rather than against national figures.
