Risk Summary

Maine's biggest climate risks are coastal flooding, inland flooding, and an emerging heat burden in older housing.

Coastal areas carry the clearest flood and storm exposure, while inland communities face river flooding and smoke-season spillover.

Insurance Market

Insurance remains broadly stable, though waterfront and older homes can be more expensive to insure and repair.

  • Working waterfront and coastal homes face the greatest flood pressure.
  • Heat adaptation matters in homes built for colder norms.
