Falmouth Maine municipal Information, demographics and housing info

Falmouth Maine info from the 2000 US Census - all kinds of interesting info

I admit, maybe not the most interesting thing to read on a Saturday afternoon in the summer in Maine - but bookmark it or clip it to Evernote and read it later. The info is quite interesting. For example, almost 25% of all of the homes in Falmouth were built before 1939 - wow!
