These Are The 10 Most Redneck Cities In Maine

Roadsnacks.net has made a list of the top ten most redneck cities in Maine?. Rednecks are all over the country and while they might be defined with a different criteria in other states, there’s plenty of them in The Pine Tree State.

So what is a redneck anyways? Well, according to the official bible of literature, the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, a redneck is:

“A white person who lives in a small town or in the country especially in the southern U.S., who typically has a working-class job, and who is seen by others as being uneducated and having opinions and attitudes that are offensive.”

Roadsnacks.net also thought why not add in a few stereotypes? Cause, you know, rednecks like to hunt, fish, drink, smoke and shoot things. And shop at Walmart.

Using that criteria, it’s not hard to scrape the internet, run some scientific data on where the most members of the Maine redneck family tree most likely live.

Because, the data never lies, does it?

So, hold our beers and watch this. After analyzing all cities with a decent amount of people in them, we came up with this list as The Most Redneck Cities in Maine:

1. Skowhegan
2. Houlton
3. Lincoln
4. Calais
5. Hebron
6. Sanford
7. Rockland
8. Kittery
9. Scarborough
10. Farmington

What redneck criteria did we use?

In order to rank the most redneck cities in Maine, we had to determine what criteria makes a redneck.

We threw a lot of criteria at this one in order to get the best, most complete results possible. Using Yelp and Google Maps, this is the criteria we used:

The dictionary definition categories

• Small towns
• Least amount of high school graduates

And the stereotypical categories

• Number of bars per city
• Number of mobile home parks per capita
• Number of tobacco stores per city
• Number of places to get fishing gear
• Number of guns and ammo stores per city
• Walmarts, Golden Corrals, Bass Pro Shops, and Dollar Generals nearby

Note: For the sake of getting reliable numbers, we counted places within a city’s border, as well as within a short driving distance.

Here's what they had to say about Skowhegan and Farmington.

1. Skowhegan

Population: 6,438
High school graduation rate: 77%
Gun stores per capita: 4th in the state
’Chew factor: 7

Whoo-whee, Skowhegan! You have the official bragging rights as being named the most redneck city in the entire state of Maine. You may now brag to your friends and share this endlessly on your Facebook walls.

You’ve for the Kennebec River that meanders right through town, meaning lots of fly fishing opportunities.

There’s several places to get a new shotgun, and the number of tobacco stores, which we call the ‘chew factor’ is a 7.

You know there are lots of moose tags filled every year out here. Rednecks love them some moose.

10. Farmington

Population: 4,250
High school graduation rate: 81%
Gun stores per capita: 8th in Maine
Tobacco stores per capita: 4th
Walmarts per capita: 2

Farmington has one of the highest concentrations of tobacco stores in Maine. Which means you ain’t runnin’ out of chew out there. The high school graduation rate is also one of the lowest in Maine.

Don’t let the fact that it’s a small college town fool you. Most of the necks live off the main drag.

And, they have a Walmart all to their very own. Which means no lines for cheap bait!

When you consider that Farmington sits right on the banks of the Sandy River, you can imagine how many rednecks out here pull their supper right out of the water.

Farmington is way out on Route 2 toward the central part of the state.

You’ve got it made, Farmington rednecks.
