Sedro-Woolley city, WA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Sedro-Woolley city is a mid-size town in Washington, with 12,633 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #107 of 639 ranked by population — larger than 83% of them. The median age here is 35.1 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 Sedro-Woolley city earn a median of $72,140 a year, 8.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 20% 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 14.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Sedro-Woolley city is valued at $390,200, 28.6% above the national figure and 17% below the $468,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,460 a month, 3.8% above the national figure, or roughly $17,520 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.3% 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 5.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 60.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.
