What it’s like
The place. Greene is a small community in Androscoggin County where nearly everyone owns the home they live in, a far higher share of owners than is usual across the country. Typical home values are well above what the county's household incomes might suggest, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while July brings warm days and the year's rain and melted snow add up to a fairly wet climate.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, manufacturing, and professional and business services. Across Androscoggin County, some of the largest workplaces are Central Maine Medical Center, Lewiston Public Schools and Bates College. Unemployment in the county is unchanged from a year earlier, while the number of jobs has slipped slightly.
Things to do. Lost Valley Ski Area is a short drive away, which suits the snowy winters, and Annabessacook Lake is also close by for time on the water. For a quieter outing, the Bates College Museum of Art is a short drive off. Wolfe's Neck Woods State Park, a protected area, is a longer drive but worth the trip for a walk among the trees.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Greene’s census tracts, 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 Androscoggin County and the Lewiston-Auburn, ME metro.
