Bingen city, WA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Bingen city is a very small community in Washington, with 865 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #416 of 639 ranked by population — larger than 34% of them. The median age here is 42 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Bingen city earn a median of $82,000 a year, 4.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 9% below the $90,592 median for the 393 Washington cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 1.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bingen city is valued at $333,600, 10% above the national figure and 29% below the $468,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,631 a month, 16% above the national figure, or roughly $19,572 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 65.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
