Larch Way CDP, WA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Larch Way CDP is a small town in Washington, with 4,046 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #219 of 639 ranked by population — larger than 65% of them. The median age here is 41.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Larch Way CDP earn a median of $141,429 a year, 80.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 56% above 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 1.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Larch Way CDP is valued at $796,100, 162.4% above the national figure and 70% above the $468,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,275 a month, 61.8% above the national figure, or roughly $27,300 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.3% 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 5.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 74.9% 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.
