The stock of housing in Bucksport is aging, with one third of the housing now over 60 years old. In Bucksport, approximately three-quarters of the housing was built before 1974 and is a potential site for lead paint contamination. Recent permitting activity in Bucksport shows steady growth of new housing. Code Enforcement Officer reports indicate that additions to the housing stock are increasingly modular and mobile homes. New multifamily construction is rare throughout this region, with a major exception being new retirement communities.
