Tehaleh CDP, WA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Tehaleh CDP is a mid-size town in Washington, with 6,769 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #168 of 639 ranked by population — larger than 73% of them. The median age here is 35.4 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 Tehaleh CDP earn a median of $136,454 a year, 73.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 51% above 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 1.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Tehaleh CDP is valued at $710,700, 134.2% above the national figure and 52% above the $468,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $3,385 a month, 140.8% above the national figure, or roughly $40,620 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 29.8% 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. 93.5% 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.
