Freeland, WA population, income and ZIP codes

Freeland CDP is a small town in Washington, with 1,966 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #316 of 639 ranked by population — larger than 50% of them. The median age here is 50.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Freeland CDP earn a median of $90,945 a year, 15.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 7.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Freeland CDP is valued at $493,400, 62.6% above the national figure and 5% above the $468,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,424 a month, 1.3% above the national figure, or roughly $17,088 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.8% 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 5.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 76.8% 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.

A median age of 50.4 puts Freeland CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.

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.
