China is a very small town located in the state of Maine. With a population of 4,458 people and just one neighborhood, China is the 97th largest community in Maine.
Unlike some towns, China isn’t mainly white- or blue-collar. Instead, the most prevalent occupations for people in China are a mix of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, China is a town of sales and office workers, managers, and professionals. There are especially a lot of people living in China who work in management occupations (11.54%), office and administrative support (10.99%), and sales jobs (9.14%).
Because of many things, China 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, China really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is China 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.
It is a fairly quiet town because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. (Children, for example, often can't help themselves from being noisy, and being parents ourselves, we know!) China has relatively few families with children living at home, and is quieter because of it. Renters and college students, for their own reasons, can also be noisy. China has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in China than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, China may be for you.
In China, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 30.22 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average.
The overall education level of China citizens is substantially higher than the typical US community, as 29.28% of adults in China have at least a bachelor's degree, and the average American community has 21.84%.
The per capita income in China in 2018 was $35,216, which is upper middle income relative to Maine and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $140,864 for a family of four.
The people who call China home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of China residents report their race to be White, followed by Black or African-American. Important ancestries of people in China include French, English, Irish, Italian, and German.
The most common language spoken in China is English. Other important languages spoken here include Italian and Polish.
