East Port Orchard CDP, WA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

East Port Orchard CDP is a mid-size town in Washington, with 5,581 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #191 of 639 ranked by population — larger than 70% of them. The median age here is 38.5 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 East Port Orchard CDP earn a median of $72,639 a year, 7.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 20% below the $90,592 median for the 393 Washington cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 11.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in East Port Orchard CDP is valued at $394,100, 29.9% above the national figure and 16% below the $468,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,632 a month, 16.1% above the national figure, or roughly $19,584 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 27% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 58.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
