Cactus Flats, AZ population, income and ZIP codes

Cactus Flats CDP is a small town in Arizona, with 1,550 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #176 of 467 ranked by population — larger than 62% of them. The median age here is 42.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Cactus Flats CDP earn a median of $75,160 a year, 4.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 18% 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 8.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Cactus Flats CDP is valued at $288,600, 4.9% below the national figure and 19% above the $242,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $233 a month, 83.4% below the national figure, or roughly $2,796 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 3.7% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 86.2% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
