Five Town Community School District

It never has a ZIP Code to itself

8,376 homes hold 14,297 residents, about 1.7 people each. Where households are small, a district's share of the homes overstates its share of the children, and this page counts homes.

What one name misses, and what changes later

Five Town Community is the largest district in 4 ZIP Code areas. Answer with its name alone and the answer misses 1,185 of the 8,887 homes those areas hold — though in 2 of them it holds every home there is. The count is homes, not addresses, and it is the number no lookup prints.

ZIP Code 04849 · Lincolnville, Maine is a two-district area: 1,506 of its 2,689 homes are inside Five Town Community, and the other 1,183 homes are with Northport. Which one an address belongs to is settled by the street, not by the five digits.

Five Town Community holds 3,335 of the 3,337 homes in ZIP Code 04843 · Camden, Maine, so its name is right for most of the area and wrong for the rest: 2 homes in districts too small to name here.

In ZIP Code 04847 · Hope, Maine the single-name answer is the true one: Five Town Community holds all 892 homes counted there, and no other district holds a share worth naming.

ZIP Code 04856 · Rockport, Maine is another area where one name covers everything — 1,969 homes, all of them inside Five Town Community.

Five Town Community reaches into ZIP Code 04862 · Appleton, Maine with 674 of its 1,924 homes; 3 districts there hold a real share of it, and School Administrative District 40 leads them. The familiar answer for that area is one of the others, and it is wrong for those 674 homes.

The elementary districts that feed it

Students arrive at Five Town Community from 6 districts that run the lower grades on the same ground — School Administrative District 28, which sends 63%, Hope, which sends 11% and Lincolnville, which sends 10%. Each of those addresses therefore belongs to two districts at once, one for grade school and this one for high school, and neither name is the whole answer.

• School Administrative District 2863% of Five Town Community's homes come from here
• Hope11% of Five Town Community's homes come from here
• Lincolnville10% of Five Town Community's homes come from here
• Northport Public Schools7.9% of Five Town Community's homes come from here
• School Administrative District 405.2% of Five Town Community's homes come from here
• Appleton2.8% of Five Town Community's homes come from here

The names in this list are exact: the federal file gives the district of each band for every census block. The percentages are not. They spread each shared ZIP Code area's homes across the other band in proportion to the share each district holds there, because the file names the two districts of a block and not how a household moves between them. Read them as the size of the crossing, not as a count of houses.

Who it shares ZIP Codes with

Five Town Community shares ZIP Code areas with 6 different districts. The most frequent are School Administrative District 28, Appleton, Hope and Lincolnville. In a neighborhood this crowded the question is not which district serves the ZIP Code but which side of which street an address is on.

What to do next

Ask the district office to confirm your street address. A district settles that question on its own site: look for a school locator, a find my school tool, or an attendance zone map. Where there is none, ask the office itself.

A ZIP Code is a set of mail delivery routes, not a boundary: in 5 of the 5 ZIP Code areas Five Town Community reaches, at least one other district holds a real share of the homes as well, and the line between them runs along streets. Only the district can say which side of that line an address is on.

This site links to no district website. None of the federal files it is built from publishes one, and a guessed address is worse than none. It is the district office, not a search engine, that settles an address.

If a house purchase depends on the answer, ask the district itself for written confirmation of that exact address. A listing is not a district record, and neither is this page.

What this cannot tell you

The homes were counted in the 2020 Census and the district lines are the 2026 boundary file. Nothing on this page adjusts one to the other. Where houses have been built or cleared since the count, a share here describes the place as it was counted rather than as it stands today, and in the fastest-growing ZIP Code areas that gap is the largest single source of error on this site.

A share on this page is a share of the homes in the ZIP Code area, not a probability for any particular address. Enrollment is decided by street address, and a district may run magnet, charter or choice programs that ignore the boundary entirely. If a decision depends on the answer, the district office is the only authority; this page shows what the federal boundary files say and when they were published.

A district boundary is not a school attendance zone. This site never says which school an address is assigned to: no current national dataset of attendance zones exists, and the district draws them itself. Nor is anything here endorsed or certified by the Census Bureau; we use their published files, and that is the whole of the relationship.

A ZIP Code is a set of mail delivery routes, not an area. What is mapped here is the Census Bureau's ZIP Code Tabulation Area, the closest published approximation to it. The two are not identical, and a handful of ZIP Codes used only for post office boxes or single buildings have no tabulation area at all.

Where these numbers come from

School district boundaries come from the Census Bureau's Census Geographic Relationship File, current 2026 vintage, which assigns every census block to a unified district or to an elementary and a secondary district. Homes and residents in each block come from the 2020 Census Redistricting Data (PL 94-171), H1_001 and P1_001. The ZIP Code areas come from the same Geographic Relationship File, block to ZIP Code Tabulation Area. District names and grade ranges come from the Census Gazetteer 2025, with 2020 for districts no longer listed.

The place name printed beside a ZIP Code comes from the Census 2020 ZIP Code Tabulation Area relationship files: place, county subdivision and county, taken 2026-09-06. It is a label rather than a measurement: the Census Bureau does not publish which post office a ZIP Code belongs to, so the place named is the one covering the most land inside the area, not the city the Postal Service prints on an envelope.

Everything else on this page — the shares, the counts of districts per ZIP, the comparison between the two grade bands, the rankings — is computed here from those files. The source publishes none of it. Snapshot taken 2026-09-03.
