What it’s like
The place. Harmony is a small Maine town where the population is older than in much of the country, and winters are long, cold and snowy. Incomes run a little below the county's, and a typical home costs less than in many parts of the country. Most adults do not hold a four-year degree.
Work. Residents mostly work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing and in the building trades. Across Somerset County, the largest workplaces include Sappi North America, which makes paper products in its mills, and Redington-Fairview General Hospital. Jobs across the county have slipped a little over the past year, and the daily drive to work is on the long side. Some residents work from home.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Unity Pond is a lake and the Sandy River is a river, both a longer drive away. In winter, Eaton Mountain is a ski area, also a longer drive away. Lakewood Theater is a theatre, likewise a longer drive from town.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Somerset 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 Somerset County.
