Everett has a much larger share of the households being nonfamily than Snohomish County, which has a majority of their households being married-couple family households. Source: ACS 2013-2017 (S1101) Income Measurements of household or family income is sometimes complicated by the methodology of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Everett is included in the Seattle-Bellevue Metro Area (King and Snohomish counties) for income limits associated with housing projects or services. HUD’s income limits are an inaccurate reflection for Everett. The wages in Seattle and other areas of King County are significantly higher than wages found in Everett. For example, HUD’s median family income (family of four) for the Seattle-Bellevue Metro Area, which includes Everett, was $96,000 in 2017. The American Community Survey (ACS) data for Everett showed median family income at $54,562 – 43% lower than HUD’s annual income. 37.4%53.5% 6.4% 5.1%11.8% 9.8% 44.4%31.6% 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% EVERETT SNOHOMISH COUNTY Nonfamily household Female householder, no husband present, family household Male householder, no wife present, family household Married-couple family household
