Hazel Dell CDP, WA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Hazel Dell CDP is a mid-size town in Washington, with 23,086 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #60 of 639 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 37.8 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 Hazel Dell CDP earn a median of $78,958 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. 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 11% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hazel Dell CDP is valued at $424,500, 39.9% above the national figure and 9% below the $468,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,665 a month, 18.4% above the national figure, or roughly $19,980 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25.3% 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. 55.9% 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.
