Orient runs its own schools, so school spending is part of its budget. Comparisons are with other Maine towns.

Where the money comes from

  • Property taxes 76%
  • From the state 13%
  • Interest, fines & other 11%
  • Fees & charges <1%

Revenue here is well above spending. That usually means Orient collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted above.

Orient didn't report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau's estimates.
