Chelan Falls CDP, WA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Chelan Falls CDP is a very small community in Washington, with 141 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #578 of 639 ranked by population — larger than 9% of them. The median age here is 25.7 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 Chelan Falls CDP earn a median of $32,143 a year, 59.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 65% below 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 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Chelan Falls CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 75% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 25.7 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. With 141 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Chelan Falls CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Chelan Falls CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
