The 10 Worst Places to Live in Maine

Maine. The way life should be? Well… maybe. Today we’re taking a trip through the Pine Tree State to look at the places that are struggling the most with poverty, lack of opportunity, isolation, harsh winters, declining economies and that classic northern New England “we used to manufacture things here” energy. From isolated mill towns and gloomy paper plant economies to struggling downtowns, brain drain and some truly questionable local smells… yeah… we’ve got a lot to talk about in this one. Along the way we also discuss: 🌲 Maine’s aging population problem 🦞 Why so many young people leave the state 🏚️ Declining mill town economies ❄️ Seasonal depression and endless gray skies 🚗 Tiny isolated towns far from everything 📉 Poverty, low wages and lack of opportunity 🛒 Walmart 🌮 Very important questions answered Like always, this list is based on statistics, local economies, crime rates, schools, amenities, quality of life and my own opinions while traveling throughout the state. If your town made the list… don’t take it too personally. Or do. I’m sure the comments section will be completely calm and rational about it.
