Renter-occupied housing makes up 28.28% of occupied homes, higher than the state share of 25.55% and the national 21.81%, so renting is more common here than in most places.

The median property tax rate of 0.75% is a little below the state rate of 0.77% and slightly above the national rate of 0.74%, so taxes are close to typical levels while purchase prices are more modest than elsewhere in Washington.
The median household income is $59,269, lower than both the state's $68,789 and the national $65,108. The unemployment rate of 4.23% is notably higher than the state's 3.02% and the nation's 2.87%, indicating a tighter job market and a local economy that faces more employment challenges than average.
