Yarmouth CDP, ME in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Yarmouth CDP is a mid-size town in Maine, with 6,293 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #26 of 155 ranked by population — larger than 83% of them. The median age here is 38.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Yarmouth CDP earn a median of $92,311 a year, 17.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 56% 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 12.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Yarmouth CDP is valued at $506,300, 66.9% above the national figure and 128% above the $221,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,694 a month, 20.5% above the national figure, or roughly $20,328 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 69.7% 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
