Bridgeport city, WA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Bridgeport city is a small town in Washington, with 2,307 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #296 of 639 ranked by population — larger than 53% of them. The median age here is 27.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Bridgeport city earn a median of $52,917 a year, 32.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 42% below the $90,592 median for the 393 Washington cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 15.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Bridgeport city is valued at $162,500, 46.4% below the national figure and 65% below the $468,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $832 a month, 40.8% below the national figure, or roughly $9,984 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.9% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 65.5% 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.
A median age of 27.9 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.
