Affordability ranking

Most Affordable Cities in Washington for Buyers

Ranked by home value as a multiple of median household income, lowest first. The ranking covers the 191 of 194 Washington places in the committed dataset that have uncapped, non-missing home value and income estimates.

1 source baseline is past its update cadence — newer official vintage not reflected

This is an affordability ordering only. It is not a full cost of living, a mortgage offer or property valuation, and it does not rank quality of life.

How this list is ranked. Cities are ordered by median home value divided by median household income, lowest multiple first. Only places with precise, uncapped, positive values are ranked; ACS top codes and missing or non-positive values are excluded instead of shown as placeholders. 136 of 191 rows use the Zillow August 2026 ZHVI home-value estimate where matched; the other 55 rows use the Census ACS 2024 5-year median home value. Income is always the Census ACS 2024 5-year median household income. This sample is not every place in Washington and not a full cost of living, rent quote, or mortgage offer. See methodology →
