What it’s like

The place. Arrowsic is a very small town in Sagadahoc County, Maine, where nearly all homes are lived in by their owners. A large share of adults hold a four-year degree, and the winters are colder than in much of the country, with January the coldest month and July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a good deal over the year.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in shops, manufacturing, and professional and business services. Across Sagadahoc County, the largest workplaces include Bath Iron Works, a naval shipbuilder, and Reed & Reed, which builds wind power structures. Commutes run fairly long, and a good number of residents work from home.

Things to do. Fort Menaskoux and the Maine Maritime Museum are in or beside town. A short drive away are Popham Beach State Park, a protected area on the coast, and Popham Colony, an archaeological site.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Sagadahoc County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very low. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.

From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Sagadahoc County and the Portland-South Portland, ME metro.
