Belgrade is a very small town located in the state of Maine. With a population of 3,252 people and just one neighborhood, Belgrade is the 139th largest community in Maine.
Belgrade is a decidedly white-collar town, with fully 85.08% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Belgrade is a town of professionals, sales and office workers, and service providers. There are especially a lot of people living in Belgrade who work in sales jobs (17.18%), management occupations (10.41%), and healthcare (10.26%).
Also of interest is that Belgrade has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.
Another notable thing is that Belgrade is a major vacation destination. Much of the town’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependent on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Belgrade’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.
Because of many things, Belgrade is a very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, Belgrade really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Belgrade perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic nightlife, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live.
Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Belgrade is worth considering.
The overall education level of Belgrade citizens is substantially higher than the typical US community, as 31.80% of adults in Belgrade have at least a bachelor's degree, and the average American community has 21.84%.
The per capita income in Belgrade in 2018 was $45,494, which is wealthy relative to Maine and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $181,976 for a family of four. However, Belgrade contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
The people who call Belgrade home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of Belgrade residents report their race to be White, followed by Asian. Important ancestries of people in Belgrade include English, French, Irish, French Canadian, and Italian.
The most common language spoken in Belgrade is English. Other important languages spoken here include French and Polish.
