Woodland is a somewhat small city located in the state of Washington. With a population of 6,523 people and two associated neighborhoods, Woodland is the 123rd largest community in Washington. Much of the housing stock in Woodland was built relatively recently. The construction of new real estate can often be taken as an indication that the local Woodland economy is robust, and that jobs or other amenities are attracting an influx of new residents. This seems to be the case in Woodland, where the median household income is $78,870.00.
Of important note, Woodland is also a city of artists. Woodland has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Woodland’s character.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 10.07% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
In Woodland, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 30.31 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average.
Being a small city, Woodland does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
The percentage of adults in Woodland who are college-educated is close to the national average for all communities of 21.84%: 19.01% of the adults in Woodland have a bachelor's degree or advanced degree.
The per capita income in Woodland in 2022 was $31,577, which is lower middle income relative to Washington, and middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $126,308 for a family of four. However, Woodland contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
