Casco is a very small town located in the state of Maine. With a population of 3,741 people and two associated neighborhoods, Casco is the 121st largest community in Maine.
Casco home prices are not only among the most expensive in Maine, but Casco real estate also consistently ranks among the most expensive in America.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 26.63% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
Another notable thing is that Casco is an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the town’s population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends. Because of this, much of the local economy is centered around tourism; some businesses may be operated only during the high season. During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially quieter place to live.
The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Casco has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Casco a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.
One downside of living in Casco, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 31.84 minutes every day commuting to work.

The education level of Casco citizens is substantially higher than the typical US community, as 32.92% of adults in Casco have at least a bachelor's degree.
