The understanding of any policy decision, therefore, must start with an understanding of demographics. This article reviews Maine’s demographics using data from the 1820 and 1920 censuses and comparing them to recent population estimates. The author finds trends that persist over time as well as ways in which Maine’s demographics have changed over the past 200 years. As 2019 ended and 2020 began, Maine saw its largest challenges as being related to the current demographic situation: slow population growth, limited available workforce, and increased demand for healthcare services. With the spread of COVID-19 throughout the state, Maine is now facing a public health crisis and economic recession the likes of which haven’t been seen in a century. around 1 percent was engaged in commerce for both Maine and the United States; and around 3 percent was engaged in manufactures, compared to 4 percent for the nation. (US Census Bureau 1821). By 1920, Maine’s total population had increased more than 150 percent to 768,014, but this was only 0.7 percent of the US total, which had increased nearly 1,000 percent. Maine ranked thirty-fifth for population among the 48 states. Around 28 percent of the population was age 45 or older, compared to around 21 percent of the US population—life expectancies had increased substantially since 1820. The 1920 census collected considerably more detail than the 1820 census did and published many different tables and reports, including information on citizenship, immigration, illiteracy, child labor, home ownership, and irrigation and drainage, among other topics. The census included six different options for “color or race”: “white,” “negro,” “Indian,” “Chinese,” “Japanese,” and “all other.” Despite the increase in categories, Maine’s population remained 99.7 percent white. However, 14 percent of Maine’s population was “foreign born” with another 21 percent being “native white” of “foreign” or “mixed” parentage (meaning born in the United States to either one or both parents of foreign birth). Maine’s population density was now less than the that of the United States: 25.7 people per square mile vs 35.5 for the nation. Maine’s 16 counties had roughly the boundaries we know today, and the population was somewhat more dispersed: the southern and coastal portions combined to around 54 percent of the total population. Portland was still the state’s largest city, with a population that had increased around 700 percent to 69,272. Around 10 percent of the population was engaged in agriculture, both in Maine and in the United States; around 16 percent in manufacturing in Maine and 12 percent in the United States; and around 4 percent in trade in both Maine and the nation (US Census Bureau 1922). Jumping ahead another 100 years to the present day, Maine’s total population has increased another 75 percent—half the rate of growth as in the previo","PeriodicalId":34576,"journal":{"name":"Maine Policy Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45795173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
