Terrace Heights, WA population, income and ZIP codes

Terrace Heights CDP is a mid-size town in Washington, with 9,480 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #136 of 639 ranked by population — larger than 78% of them. The median age here is 39.1 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 Terrace Heights CDP earn a median of $79,525 a year, 1.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 12% below the $90,592 median for the 393 Washington cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 10.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Terrace Heights CDP is valued at $325,000, 7.1% above the national figure and 31% below the $468,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,124 a month, 20.1% below the national figure, or roughly $13,488 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. 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. 65.8% 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.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
