Navy Yard City CDP, WA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Navy Yard City CDP is a small town in Washington, with 2,542 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #283 of 639 ranked by population — larger than 55% of them. The median age here is 38.6 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 Navy Yard City CDP earn a median of $67,546 a year, 14% below the national figure of $78,538 and 25% 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 17.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Navy Yard City CDP is valued at $293,200, 3.4% below the national figure and 37% below the $468,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,504 a month, 7% above the national figure, or roughly $18,048 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.7% 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 4.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 63.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
