Lakeland South CDP, WA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Lakeland South CDP is a mid-size town in Washington, with 12,869 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #102 of 639 ranked by population — larger than 84% of them. The median age here is 39.6 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 Lakeland South CDP earn a median of $105,273 a year, 34% above the national figure of $78,538 and 16% above 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 6.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lakeland South CDP is valued at $530,900, 75% above the national figure and 13% above the $468,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,558 a month, 10.8% above the national figure, or roughly $18,696 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.8% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 79% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
