Qualified census tracts in Maine

35 census tracts in 8 counties qualify as low-income or high-poverty HUBZones until SBA's next map update in July 2028. Counties with the most:

  • Androscoggin County: 9 tracts
  • Penobscot County: 7 tracts
  • Cumberland County: 6 tracts
  • Kennebec County: 5 tracts
  • Somerset County: 3 tracts
  • York County: 3 tracts
  • Aroostook County: 1 tract
  • Washington County: 1 tract

A tract is only part of a county, often a few city blocks, so check each street address with the HUBZone map checker.

Qualified non-metropolitan counties

Every address in these 4 rural counties is in a HUBZone, because of low household income, high unemployment or a HUD difficult development area:

  • Aroostook County
  • Piscataquis County
  • Somerset County
  • Washington County

Indian lands

SBA's map lists 3 Indian land areas in Maine, such as reservations. Land inside these boundaries is a HUBZone with no set end date.

Areas that had lost HUBZone status but were hit by a major disaster stay HUBZones for a while. In Maine:

  • Androscoggin County, 1 tract, after Severe Storms and Flooding: until Jul 1, 2028
  • Cumberland County, 2 tracts, after Severe Storms: until Jul 1, 2028

Redesignated areas ended July 1, 2026

Tracts and counties that lost HUBZone status in SBA's 2023 map update stayed HUBZones for three years as redesignated areas. Those expired on July 1, 2026, and SBA's data no longer lists any in Maine. If your office or employees relied on one, check each address again.
