Country Homes, WA population, income and ZIP codes

Country Homes CDP is a mid-size town in Washington, with 5,979 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #181 of 639 ranked by population — larger than 71% of them. The median age here is 31 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Country Homes CDP earn a median of $78,841 a year, essentially level with the national figure of $78,538 and 13% 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 14.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Country Homes CDP is valued at $386,500, 27.4% above the national figure and 17% below the $468,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,193 a month, 15.1% below the national figure, or roughly $14,316 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.2% 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 4.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 55.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
