Tanglewilde CDP, WA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Tanglewilde CDP is a mid-size town in Washington, with 6,822 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #167 of 639 ranked by population — larger than 73% of them. The median age here is 37.6 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 Tanglewilde CDP earn a median of $99,766 a year, 27% above the national figure of $78,538 and 10% 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 6.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Tanglewilde CDP is valued at $410,300, 35.2% above the national figure and 12% below the $468,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,779 a month, 26.5% above the national figure, or roughly $21,348 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.4% 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 4.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 61.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
