Living in Greenville


Greenville is a very small town located in the state of Maine. With a population of 1,677 people and two associated neighborhoods, Greenville is the 241st largest community in Maine.

Also of interest is that Greenville has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 7.56% of people work from home. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce it is high relative to the nation. 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 Greenville 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.

It is a fairly quiet town because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. (Children, for example, often can't help themselves from being noisy, and being parents ourselves, we know!) Greenville has relatively few families with children living at home, and is quieter because of it. Renters and college students, for their own reasons, can also be noisy. Greenville has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Greenville than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Greenville may be for you.

Compared to the rest of the country, citizens of Greenville spend much less time in their cars: on average, their commute to work is only 17.15 minutes. This also means that noise and pollution levels in the town are less than they would otherwise be.

As is often the case in a small town, Greenville doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.

In terms of college education, Greenville is somewhat better educated than the 21.84% who have a 4-year degree or higher in the typical US community: 26.42% of adults 25 and older in the town have at least a bachelor's degree.

The per capita income in Greenville in 2022 was $43,772, which is upper middle income relative to Maine and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $175,088 for a family of four. However, Greenville contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
