Living in Greenville



Greenville is a very small town located in the state of Maine. With a population of 1,614 people and two associated neighborhoods, Greenville is the 241st largest community in Maine.

Another notable thing is that Greenville is a major vacation destination. Much of the town’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependent on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Greenville’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.

Because of many things, Greenville is a great place for families with children to consider. First of all, many other families with children live here, making Greenville a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families, as well as find family-oriented services and community. The town’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic values. With regard to real estate, Greenville has a high rate of owner-occupied single family homes, which tends to reflect stability in the local community. Finally, Greenville’s overall crime rate ranks among the lowest in the country, making it one of the safest places to raise a family.

Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Greenville is worth considering.

One of the benefits of Greenville is that there is very little traffic. The average commute to work is 18.46 minutes, which is substantially less than the national average. Not only does this mean that the drive to work is less aggravating, but noise and pollution levels are lower as a result.

Greenville is a small town, and as such doesn't have a public transit system that people use to get to and from their jobs every day.

The overall education level of Greenville is somewhat higher than in the average US city of 21.84%: 28.35% of adults 25 and older in the town have at least a bachelor's degree.

The per capita income in Greenville in 2022 was $39,651, which is middle income relative to Maine, and upper middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $158,604 for a family of four. However, Greenville contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
