What it’s like
The place. Georgetown is a small coastal town in Sagadahoc County, home to about as many people as a large apartment complex might hold. Nearly all homes are lived in by their owners, far more than is typical across the country, and typical home values are high. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are mild, with plenty of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, manufacturing, and professional and business services. Across Sagadahoc County, the largest workplaces include Bath Iron Works, a naval shipbuilder, along with the local school districts and Reed & Reed, a builder of wind power structures. Many adults hold a four-year degree, and the typical commute is a fairly long one.
Things to do. Popham Beach and Popham Beach State Park sit in or beside town, with open sand and protected shoreline close at hand. A short drive away, Popham Colony is an archaeological site from the early days of English settlement, and Fort Popham is an old fort by the water. Reid State Park, also a short drive away, offers more coastline to walk.

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.
