Zillah city, WA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Zillah city is a small town in Washington, with 3,163 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #250 of 639 ranked by population — larger than 60% of them. The median age here is 33.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Zillah city earn a median of $72,461 a year, 7.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 20% 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 10.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Zillah city is valued at $297,000, 2.1% below the national figure and 37% below the $468,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,235 a month, 12.2% below the national figure, or roughly $14,820 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.5% 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. 67.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
