Arizona City, AZ population, income and ZIP codes

Arizona City CDP is a mid-size town in Arizona, with 8,681 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #73 of 467 ranked by population — larger than 84% of them. The median age here is 52.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Arizona City CDP earn a median of $54,519 a year, 30.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 14% below the $63,545 median for the 206 Arizona cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 12.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Arizona City CDP is valued at $219,400, 27.7% below the national figure and 10% below the $242,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $973 a month, 30.8% below the national figure, or roughly $11,676 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.4% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 79.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

A median age of 52.3 puts Arizona City CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
