What it’s like
The place. Turner is a small community in Androscoggin County, with a population well below that of most towns people think of as towns. Residents are older than in most of the country, and home values are on the higher side. Winters are long and cold, with a great deal of snow, and summers are warm without being hot, with plenty of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Many residents work 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. The typical commute is a fairly long one, and few people work from home.
Things to do. The Nezinscot River and its east and west branches are a short drive away, and Lost Valley Ski Area is also close by for winter days. A longer drive brings you to Cobbosseecontee Lake, a lake for time on the water, and to the Bates College Museum of Art.

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