Bagdad, AZ population, income and ZIP codes

Bagdad CDP is a small town in Arizona, with 2,757 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #132 of 467 ranked by population — larger than 71% of them. The median age here is 23.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Bagdad CDP earn a median of $98,641 a year, 25.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 55% above 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 14.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bagdad CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $611 a month, 56.5% below the national figure, or roughly $7,332 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 7.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. 4.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 23.6 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not.

The Census withheld home value for Bagdad CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
