Dilkon CDP, AZ in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Dilkon CDP is a small town in Arizona, with 1,267 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #189 of 467 ranked by population — larger than 59% of them. The median age here is 33.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Dilkon CDP earn a median of $38,452 a year, 51% below the national figure of $78,538 and 39% 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 38.9% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.
The typical owner-occupied home in Dilkon CDP is valued at $77,500, 74.5% below the national figure and 68% below the $242,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $723 a month, 48.6% below the national figure, or roughly $8,676 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.6% 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 2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 42.4% 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.
No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
