The short answer

Washington Terrace is home to 9,182 people. Median household income is $80,119 a year and median rent is $1,293 a month, 19.4% of income (a ratio of two medians, not any one household's burden). Rent pressure is lighter than in most places. The median home is valued at $353,900, about 4.4x annual median household income.

The story in Washington Terrace is how fast things are changing. Housing became less affordable between 2019 and 2024: rent went from 15.5% to 19.4% of income. Also notable: OpenStreetMap shows 18.2 bus and rail stops per square mile, more than in 96% of places its size.
