Roslyn city, WA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Roslyn city is a very small community in Washington, with 884 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #413 of 639 ranked by population — larger than 35% of them. The median age here is 43.8 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 Roslyn city earn a median of $82,386 a year, 4.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 9% 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 5.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Roslyn city is valued at $464,100, 53% above the national figure and within a couple of points of the $468,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,639 a month, 16.6% above the national figure, or roughly $19,668 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.9% 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 5.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 70.1% 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.
