Analysis of demographic characteristics of 411 recent inmigrants to Maine, as revealed in a random mail-back questionnaire sample of persons who exchanged an out-of-state driver's license for a Maine one during July-December of 1980 or 1983, indicated that trends and relationships noted in previous studies are continuing into the 1980s. Inmigrants tended to be from the Northeast (65%) and particularly New England (35%). They tended to move from large urban areas (counties of 250,000 population or over) and preferred living in Maine's smaller communities. While only 15% of the inmigrants were born in Maine, 42% had lived in the state at one time, 92% had visited Maine at least once, and 28% had owned property in Maine prior to inmigration. One-seventh of the sample was 65 or older, with 71% being under age 50. Average household size was 2.6 persons. Families contained an average of 0.27 preschool children and 0.53 school aged children per household. Young adults were highly educated, with 68% of female and 70% of male respondents attaining at least 1 year of college education. Because their migration to Maine was largely voluntary and quality-of-life oriented, it can be assumed that most inmigrants will attempt to "fit into" Maine life. (NEC)
