What it’s like

The place. Roxbury is a very small town in western Maine, home to few people, and most of them are older than in the typical American town. Nearly everyone owns the home they live in, and a four-year degree is less common among adults than across the country. Winters are long and cold, with snowfall well above what most of the country sees, and summers are mild and warm; there is plenty of rain and melted snow through the year.

Work. Residents mostly work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing and in the building trades. Across Oxford County, some of the largest workplaces are Sunday River Skiway, ND Paper and Stephens Memorial Hospital. Many people have a fairly long drive to work, and few work from home.

Things to do. Webb Lake is a lake a short drive away, and Angel Falls, a waterfall, is also close by. Black Mountain of Maine, a ski area, is a short drive too, which suits the snowy winters. For a bigger day out, Rangeley Lake is a longer drive away.

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