Hobart CDP, WA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Hobart CDP is a mid-size town in Washington, with 6,841 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #166 of 639 ranked by population — larger than 74% of them. The median age here is 44.4 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 Hobart CDP earn a median of $149,635 a year, 90.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 65% above the $90,592 median for the 393 Washington cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 5.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Hobart CDP is valued at $893,700, 194.6% above the national figure and 91% above the $468,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,307 a month, 64.1% above the national figure, or roughly $27,684 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.5% 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 6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 92.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
