Cashmere city, WA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Cashmere city is a small town in Washington, with 3,263 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #247 of 639 ranked by population — larger than 61% of them. The median age here is 44 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 Cashmere city earn a median of $63,825 a year, 18.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 30% 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 9.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Cashmere city is valued at $373,900, 23.2% above the national figure and 20% below the $468,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,039 a month, 26.1% below the national figure, or roughly $12,468 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.5% 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 5.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 62.2% 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.
