What it’s like

The place. Wallagrass is a very small town in northern Aroostook County, Maine, where nearly everyone lives in a home they own. Incomes run below the county's, and fewer residents live below the poverty line than you might expect for a rural area. Winters are long, cold and very snowy, with summers that stay mild.

Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, and others in farming, forestry, the building trades and other services. Across Aroostook County, the biggest employers include The Aroostook Medical Center, Cary Medical Center and Walmart. Most people drive a fair way to work, and only a small number work from home.

Things to do. Lonesome Pine Trails, a ski area, is a short drive away, as is Fort Kent, a historic fort. The Fish River is also a short drive off, and a longer drive brings you to Acadian Village, a museum of the region's Acadian heritage.

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