 | | Often the two Maines are referred to as Northern Maine and Southern Maine, with the boundary between the two starting at the northernmost limits of the City of Portland. |
 | | In this regard, it appears that the terms "Southern Maine" and "Northern Maine" are code words for the "haves" and the "have nots". |
 | | For example, according to the "The Economy of Maine" CD put together by Robert K. Roper, the per capita income of Knox ($14,100), Lincoln ($13,800), Kennebec ($13,600) and Hancock ($13,500) counties exceeded that of York county ($13,300) in 1996. |
