Edmonds, WA: a steady community on the Sound while inland places surged

Edmonds has about 540 residents of Asian Indian descent, up 6% from about 510 in the 2015–2019 survey (our calculation) [1][2]. They are about 1.3% of a city of about 43,000 [1][3].

That is a flat line in a county where most places grew fast. Our database places 81 people at an estimated $1M+ under the Edmonds name, which as a mailing name may reach beyond city limits [6].

• 543 residents of Asian Indian descent (alone or in combination) in Edmonds, Washington, 2020–2024 average [1], or 1.3% of the population [3].
• +6.1% versus the 2015–2019 estimate of 512 [1][2] (our calculation).
• 81 people in the HeyAlbert database placed in Edmonds, Washington at an estimated $1M+, of whom fewer than 25 are in our $5M+ bands [6].

How Edmonds compares with nearby places

The Census Bureau's American Community Survey counts 543 people who report Asian Indian ancestry, alone or with another group, in Edmonds [1], against 512 in 2015–2019 [2]. The table compares it with the places in Snohomish County that have the largest Asian Indian communities. Figures are for whole places, and some places extend into neighboring counties [1][2][4].

Place	2020–2024	2015–2019	Change	Share of place
Mill Creek East CDP	6,815	3,089	121%	26.8%
Bothell East CDP	4,228	3,022	40%	29.0%
Bothell	3,897	2,988	30%	7.9%
Bothell West CDP	2,227	1,938	15%	10.1%

Lake Stevens	1,382	115	1102%	3.4%
Silver Firs CDP	1,288	513	151%	5.8%
Edmonds	543	512	6%	1.3%

Asian Indian alone or in any combination. Sources: ACS 5-year estimates [1][2][4]; totals from Table B01003. Change and share are our calculations. Estimates carry margins of error.

Mill Creek East grew from about 3,100 to about 6,800, and Silver Firs from about 510 to about 1,300 [1][2][4]. Bothell East has the highest share in the table, about 29% (our ranking) [1][2][4]. Edmonds has the smallest community of the eight places shown [1][2][4].

The most concentrated communities

Raw counts favor big cities. Ranking places of 20,000+ residents by the share who report Asian Indian ancestry gives a different map [1][2][3][4][5]:

Place	Asian Indian residents	Total population	Share
Mill Creek East CDP	6,815	25,453	26.8%
Bothell West CDP	2,227	22,029	10.1%
Bothell	3,897	49,610	7.9%
Martha Lake CDP	1,421	22,634	6.3%
Silver Firs CDP	1,288	22,306	5.8%
Lake Stevens	1,382	40,253	3.4%

Places with 20,000+ residents and at least 1,000 Asian Indian residents. CDP = census-designated place. Sources: ACS 2020–2024 5-year, Tables B02018 and B01003 [1][2][3][4][5]; shares are our calculation.

What the HeyAlbert database shows in Edmonds, Washington

HeyAlbert builds profiles of Indian-American individuals with an estimated net worth of $1M or more from public records, and every estimate is tied to a cited source. Our database currently places 81 such people in Edmonds, Washington [6]. That is a count of people we have found and estimated, not a census of wealthy households: our coverage is partial and uneven.

Estimated net-worth band	People in our database
$5M+	<25
$1M–5M	not shown
Total, $1M+	81

Source: HeyAlbert database [6]. Bands are estimates from public evidence; $5M+ combines our $5–15M and $25M+ tiers. Cells under 25 are suppressed. When one tier has fewer than 25 people, the other tier is not shown either, because it could be subtracted from the total.

City	$1M+	of which $5M+
Edmonds	81	<25

Source: HeyAlbert database [6]. Cities with 25+ people at $1M+; cells under 25 shown as <25. The city is where our sources place the person; for some records it is a workplace rather than a home. Our records are matched on the city name Edmonds; the Census figures are for the whole place.

Our database places 81 people under the Edmonds name at an estimated $1M+ [6]. Fewer than 25 of them are in our $5M+ bands, so this post shows the $1M+ total and does not split it by tier [6]. Fewer than 25 have a public giving signal [6].

Why our Edmonds, Washington count looks the way it does

Each estimate in our database rests on a primary piece of public evidence [6]. In Edmonds, Washington, most rest on one type: home value (public assessor or listing records). Because some evidence types here cover fewer than 25 people, and subtracting them from the total could reveal a suppressed tier, we do not show the evidence counts for this place.

Public home-value records support nearly all of these estimates [6]. This is home-equity wealth, not company or patent wealth.

What it means if you work with these families

For advisors, Edmonds is a stable, home-equity market rather than a growth story, and the mailing name may cover more than the city, so plan by ZIP code [6]. Our Snohomish County and Everett posts cover the places that grew.

Methodology

Census figures are American Community Survey 5-year estimates for 2020–2024 and 2015–2019, Table B02018, using “Asian Indian, alone or in any combination” [1][2]. Total population comes from Table B01003 [3]. The Census Bureau changed how it codes detailed race responses in 2020, so part of the change between the two periods may reflect coding rather than migration. All estimates carry margins of error. Shares and growth rates are our calculations.

HeyAlbert counts are aggregates from our database as of November 9, 2026 [6]. They include people we identified as likely of Indian origin with an estimated net worth of $1M or more, based on public records such as property assessments, professional licenses, patents, SEC filings and donor rolls. Coverage is partial and depends on which public records exist and which we have processed. These counts are not population totals. Any cell under 25 is suppressed, and we publish aggregates only, never individual records.
