What it’s like
The place. Ogunquit is a small coastal town in York County, and its residents are older than in most American places. Nearly everyone owns the home they live in, far more than across the county, and typical home values run high. Few residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while July is the warmest, with pleasantly warm days. Precipitation through the year is generous, falling as both rain and snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing, and in professional and business services. Across York County, some of the biggest employers are Southern Maine Health Care, York Hospital and the University of New England. Unemployment across the county is low and about where it was a year ago, and the number of jobs has edged up slightly.
Things to do. In or beside town are the Ogunquit Museum of American Art and the Ogunquit Playhouse, a theatre. A short drive away is the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area for walking and watching wildlife. A longer drive leads to Fort McClary, one of the old forts along the coast.

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