May Creek, WA population, income and ZIP codes

May Creek CDP is a very small community in Washington, with 801 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #420 of 639 ranked by population — larger than 34% of them. The median age here is 51.3 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 May Creek CDP earn a median of $75,380 a year, 4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 17% 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 12.6% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in May Creek CDP is valued at $285,500, 5.9% below the national figure and 39% below the $468,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 85.6% 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.

A median age of 51.3 puts May Creek 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. With 801 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare May Creek CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for May Creek CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
