Demographic Projections

Population

The Office of the State Economist has released population projections covering the state, counties, and cities and towns for 5-year intervals to 2040. For cities and towns, projections cover total population only; for the state and counties, projections include five-year age and sex cohorts.

Please note:

• These data replace the previous set of projections issued in April 2021, which are now outdated and should no longer be used.
• While these projections are available in five-year intervals out to 2040, we encourage limiting the use of projections beyond 2030 if possible.

For information on the results and methodology please refer to the report Maine Population Outlook to 2030.
