Fairwood (Spokane Co.), WA population, income and ZIP codes

Fairwood CDP (Spokane County) is a mid-size town in Washington, with 10,439 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #127 of 639 ranked by population — larger than 80% of them. The median age here is 42.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Fairwood CDP (Spokane County) earn a median of $84,911 a year, 8.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 6% 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 8.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Fairwood CDP (Spokane County) is valued at $435,200, 43.4% above the national figure and 7% below the $468,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,191 a month, 15.3% below the national figure, or roughly $14,292 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.8% 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 5.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 70% 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
