About this Washington directory

How Washington places are defined and measured.

This directory lists every place the US Census Bureau tabulates in Washington, ranked from the largest to the smallest by population. Incorporated cities, towns and villages appear alongside census-designated places (CDPs) — unincorporated communities that have no local government of their own but are counted separately because they have a recognised name and settled population. The suffix in each name ("city", "town", "village", "CDP") is the Census legal/statistical description, which is why you will see entries such as "Seattle city".

The largest place in Washington is Seattle city with 741,440 residents, and the 639 places on this page hold 6,461,293 people between them. Median household income across the listed places runs from $27,321 to $250,001, and median home values range from $9,999 to $2,000,001 — a spread that shows how much local housing markets diverge inside a single state.

Every figure comes from the American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year five-year estimates, which average survey responses over sixty months. That averaging is what makes small towns measurable at all, but it also means the numbers describe the period as a whole rather than today. Blank cells are estimates the Census suppressed because the local sample was too small to publish reliably. Select any place to open its full profile with affordability ratios, poverty and homeownership rates, and links to nearby communities of similar size.

Reading this Washington list

What the Washington numbers actually show.

Washington is a city-weighted state without being a one-city state: 26 places above 50,000 residents hold 50% of the 6,461,293 people counted here, spread across several metros rather than one. Comparisons work best inside that tier — the 246 sub-thousand places on this list live in a different economy. The median row holds just 1,934 residents. At that scale margins of error widen sharply, and a single large household or seasonal population can shift a median.

Washington sits on the expensive side of the national picture without being an outlier: $417,500 median home value on $83,857 of income is 5 years of gross earnings against 3.9 nationally. Median gross rent runs $1,414 including utilities, or about 20% of median household income annually.

Incomes fan out sharply inside Washington. Strip the outliers and the top-decile place still earns 2.78× the bottom-decile one ($141,097 against $50,694); include them and Clyde Hill city tops the list at $250,001 and Malden town anchors the bottom at $27,321. A single "Washington average" is averaging across two different economies.

About one row in 10 is incomplete — 62 of 639 places have a suppressed estimate, almost all of them at the small end. Five-year estimates average responses over sixty months, so what is published is a stable baseline rather than a reading of this month's market.

Questions people ask

Specific to Washington.

How many places does Washington have? 639 appear in the current federal tabulation, counting incorporated cities, towns and villages together with census-designated places — unincorporated communities with no local government of their own. The legal suffix in each name is the Census description, which is how two communities can share a name.

Which Washington row should I compare mine against? Pick places within roughly the same population band. In a state this spread out, size drives the housing and income figures more than region does.

How current is this? Every figure comes from the American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year release published by the US Census Bureau, ACS 2019-2023 5-year estimates. It reflects the full survey window rather than a single date, and it is the most recent vintage available for places this small.
