Kitsap

Kitsap is a county inside Washington (FIPS code 53035) that contains 20 USPS ZIP codes covering a combined population of 250,958 according to Census ACS 5-Year Estimates. Counties are the natural bridge between state-level summaries and ZIP-level detail — crime statistics, HUD Fair Market Rents, and childcare pricing are all published at the county level, while household income and housing values are published at the ZIP level. This page reconciles the two views so you can see which ZIPs drive the county totals.

That is how neighborhood scorecards combine ZIP-level Census demographics with county-level safety and affordability metrics. All data on this page comes from U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2023 5-Year Estimates and USPS ZIP Code Tabulation Area files — no estimates, no proprietary sources, no editorial scoring.
