What it’s like

The place. Baileyville is a small town in Washington County, Maine, where nearly everyone lives in a home they own. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm without being hot. Rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount over the year, and the snow is part of the season. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree here than is typical for the country, and a good share of households live below the poverty line.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and the building trades close behind. Among the largest workplaces in town are Woodland Pulp and St Croix Tissue, both manufacturers, and Baileyville Public Schools is another major employer. Commutes are short, and only a small number of people work from home. Unemployment in the county is a little higher than a year ago, and the number of jobs across Washington County slipped slightly last year.

Things to do. The Maine River is a short drive away and is the closest water to get to. A longer drive brings you to Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area, and to Cobscook Bay State Park, also a protected area. Both suit a day set aside for walking and looking at the country around you.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Washington County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively 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 Washington County.
