South Hill CDP, WA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

South Hill CDP is a small city in Washington, with 68,161 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #19 of 639 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 34.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.

Households in South Hill CDP earn a median of $109,235 a year, 39.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 21% above the $90,592 median for the 393 Washington cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 6.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in South Hill CDP is valued at $493,800, 62.8% above the national figure and 5% above the $468,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,916 a month, 36.3% above the national figure, or roughly $22,992 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21% 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 4.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 72.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
