Rosedale CDP, WA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Rosedale CDP is a small town in Washington, with 4,267 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #216 of 639 ranked by population — larger than 66% of them. The median age here is 44.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Rosedale CDP earn a median of $149,632 a year, 90.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 65% above 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 2.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Rosedale CDP is valued at $816,000, 169% above the national figure and 74% above the $468,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,250 a month, 60% above the national figure, or roughly $27,000 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18% 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 5.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 91.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

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.
