Bothell East CDP, WA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Bothell East CDP is a mid-size town in Washington, with 14,487 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #93 of 639 ranked by population — larger than 85% of them. The median age here is 34.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Bothell East CDP earn a median of $189,519 a year, 141.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 109% above the $90,592 median for the 393 Washington cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 3.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bothell East CDP is valued at $1,047,300, 245.2% above the national figure and 124% above the $468,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,181 a month, 55.1% above the national figure, or roughly $26,172 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.8% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 61.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
