Outlook, WA population, income and ZIP codes

Outlook CDP is a very small community in Washington, with 504 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #473 of 639 ranked by population — larger than 26% of them. The median age here is 39 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 Outlook CDP earn a median of $46,949 a year, 40.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 48% 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 30.2% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Outlook CDP is valued at $314,900, 3.8% above the national figure and 33% below the $468,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 6.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is out of reach on local earnings alone and the ownership market leans on outside income, equity or dual high earners. 54.1% 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.

Home values sit at 6.7× median household income, far past the 3.9× national mark, so ownership costs here are set by something other than local wages — second homes, retirees with equity, or commuters earning elsewhere. With 504 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Outlook CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Outlook 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.
