Parkland CDP, WA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Parkland CDP is a small city in Washington, with 39,174 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #34 of 639 ranked by population — larger than 94% of them. The median age here is 33.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Parkland CDP earn a median of $71,829 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. 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 12.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Parkland CDP is valued at $382,700, 26.1% above the national figure and 18% below the $468,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,593 a month, 13.3% above the national figure, or roughly $19,116 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.6% 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 5.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 53.5% 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.
