Anthem CDP, AZ in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Anthem CDP is a mid-size town in Arizona, with 22,622 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #40 of 467 ranked by population — larger than 91% of them. The median age here is 44.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Anthem CDP earn a median of $117,846 a year, 50% above the national figure of $78,538 and 85% above the $63,545 median for the 206 Arizona cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 2.9% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Anthem CDP is valued at $516,200, 70.1% above the national figure and 113% above the $242,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,258 a month, 60.6% above the national figure, or roughly $27,096 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 84.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
