Mount Vista CDP, WA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Mount Vista CDP is a mid-size town in Washington, with 10,635 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #123 of 639 ranked by population — larger than 80% of them. The median age here is 40.6 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 Mount Vista CDP earn a median of $101,189 a year, 28.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 12% above the $90,592 median for the 393 Washington cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 6.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Mount Vista CDP is valued at $526,200, 73.4% above the national figure and 12% above the $468,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,876 a month, 33.4% above the national figure, or roughly $22,512 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 70.9% 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.
