Millwood city, WA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Millwood city is a small town in Washington, with 1,880 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #323 of 639 ranked by population — larger than 49% of them. The median age here is 37.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Millwood city earn a median of $71,875 a year, 8.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 21% below 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 10.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Millwood city is valued at $327,200, 7.8% above the national figure and 30% below the $468,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,097 a month, 22% below the national figure, or roughly $13,164 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.3% 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 4.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 62.4% 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.
