ZIP code 04611

ZIP 04611 is a very small community in Washington County, Maine, with 451 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #346 of 427 ranked by population — larger than 19% of them. The median age here is 41.6 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 ZIP 04611 earn a median of $68,125 a year, 13.3% below the national figure of $78,538. 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 8.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 04611 is valued at $259,500, 14.5% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $829 a month, 41% below the national figure, or roughly $9,948 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.6% 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 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 83.4% 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. 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.

With 451 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare ZIP 04611 against its county rather than against national figures.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.

ZIP 04611 is tabulated inside Washington County, Maine, one of 31 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 427 across Maine. This is one of the smallest tabulated ZIP areas in the state, the kind of rural route where a single subdivision or farm cluster accounts for most addresses. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 04611 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 04611 reports a median household income of $68,125, 29% above the $52,950 county median, and 4% above the $65,739 typical ME ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $259,500, 73% above the county figure and 13% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $829 a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

Maine charges 5.5% statewide, and no local sales tax is layered on top, so the state rate is the full amount collected in 04611.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 04611 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
