Washington

Washington’s median sale price: $562,936
Washington’s median sale price to household income: 6.2

Washington is the 18th biggest state, with an area of 71,362sq miles, and the 13th most populated, with more than 7.7 million people.

Around 60 percent of Washington’s residents live in the Seattle metropolitan area, the center of transportation, business, and industry along Puget Sound, an inlet of the Pacific Ocean consisting of numerous islands and bays carved out by stunning glaciers.

But one very important thing that Washington is known for: it’s the birthplace of Starbucks coffee, Boeing Co., and Microsoft Corp. Because of its coastal location, this expensive state is a crucial exporter for the US, notably for transportation equipment.

Furthermore, the state is essential to the nation’s food and agriculture industry, generating 70 percent of the country’s apples, and also a leader in milk, potato, and cattle production. The aerospace industry is a significant economic driver for the state.

The military and defense sector employs the second-largest number of people in this area, with more than 127,000 active duty, guard, reserve, and civilian personnel.

    “But its population of more than 20 million people in 2020 makes it the 4th most populous metropolis in the US. Two-thirds of the state’s population resides in the New York metropolitan area. This city is also the premier gateway for immigration into the US.”
    Many believe NYC is NYS. With 2/3 of the population of the state in that small area, consider how nice the rest of the state is with its beauty, natural resources, fresh air etc. Why anyone would prefer an urban jungle is beyond me. I do live in NYS but not in NYC.
