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 an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the town’s population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends. Because of this, much of the local economy is centered around tourism; some businesses may be operated only during the high season. During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially quieter place to live.
Because of many things, Belgrade is a great place for families with children to consider. First of all, many other families with children live here, making Belgrade a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families, as well as find family-oriented services and community. The town’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic values. With regard to real estate, Belgrade has a high rate of owner-occupied single family homes, which tends to reflect stability in the local community. Finally, Belgrade’s overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.
The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Belgrade has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Belgrade a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.
The 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.
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.
