I have often heard that Boothbay is the grayest region in the grayest county in the grayest state in the USA. I do not know if that is true, but according to the 2020 report on Older Americans, Maine ties with Florida for the highest percentage of the population over 65

The leaders of Boothbay want young people but only the ones from wealthy families or what is described as the professional classes to be tenants of affordable workforce housing which, should the developers and realtors get their way with the ordinances, will be on smaller plots of land than was allowed when I was raised on the Peninsula marking another notch down in the standard of living for most, an effect brought about by the Boomers in the eyes of the younger generations.
