What it’s like
The place. Newfield is a small town in York County, Maine, where almost everyone lives in a home they own. Poverty is somewhat less common here than in many places, and a typical home costs a good deal, though fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many parts of the country. Winters are cold and very snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are mild and pleasant, warmest in July, with plenty of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in professional and business services. Few people work from home, and the typical commute is long, so many travel some distance for their jobs. Across York County, some of the biggest employers are Pratt & Whitney North Berwick Parts Center, which makes jet engine components, Southern Maine Health Care, and the University of New England.
Things to do. Willowbrook Museum Village is a museum in or beside town, and Great East Lake and Wilson Lake are both lakes a short drive away. For a longer outing, Lake Winnipesaukee is a large lake a longer drive away, good for a day by the water.

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 York County and the Portland-South Portland, ME metro.
