ZIP Code 04611

ZIP code 04611, centered on Brookton, sits in middle-income territory: a median household income of $64,063 and per-capita income of $48,216 place it above many rural Maine communities but well short of affluent suburbs. Homes carry a median value of $256,700, taxed at a county-level effective rate of 1.04%. Combined with a 5.50% sales tax, that leaves households here paying a steady, ongoing share of income toward state and local levies. The picture is one of a working- and middle-income area where property values have climbed, yet earnings have not kept pace with wealthier parts of the state.
