North Windham CDP, ME in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

North Windham CDP is a mid-size town in Maine, with 5,633 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #30 of 155 ranked by population — larger than 81% of them. The median age here is 43.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in North Windham CDP earn a median of $86,972 a year, 10.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 47% 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 5.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in North Windham CDP is valued at $309,900, 2.1% above the national figure and 40% above the $221,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,304 a month, 7.3% below the national figure, or roughly $15,648 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 81% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
