Silver Firs CDP, WA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Silver Firs CDP is a mid-size town in Washington, with 21,796 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #63 of 639 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 38.6 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 Silver Firs CDP earn a median of $153,026 a year, 94.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 69% above 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 6.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Silver Firs CDP is valued at $791,700, 160.9% above the national figure and 69% above the $468,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,853 a month, 102.9% above the national figure, or roughly $34,236 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.4% 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 5.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 89.7% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
