Clark County has a median rent of $1,625, far above the Washington median of $1,019 and nearly double the national median of $840.25. Renter-occupied housing is 24% of occupied homes, a little below the state share of 25.55% and above the national 21.81%, so the county is mostly owner-occupied but has an active rental market.

Median household income is $95,217, much higher than the state's $68,789 and the national $65,108. The unemployment rate of 3.39% is a bit above the state's 3.02% and the national 2.87%.
Overall, Clark County is a high-cost, high-income market in the Vancouver area, with expensive housing and elevated taxes offset by strong household earnings and slightly higher unemployment.
