ZIP code 99011

ZIP 99011 is a small town in Spokane County, Washington, with 3,016 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #337 of 605 ranked by population — larger than 44% of them. The median age here is 23 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 ZIP 99011 earn a median of $69,825 a year, 11.1% below the national figure of $78,538. 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 5.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 99011 is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $1,681 a month, 19.6% above the national figure, or roughly $20,172 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 28.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. 0.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 23 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.

We publish the state floor for this ZIP rather than guessing a combined figure, because ZIP boundaries and taxing-district boundaries were drawn for different purposes and do not line up.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 99011 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
