Donovan Estates, AZ population, income and ZIP codes

Donovan Estates CDP is a very small community in Arizona, with 623 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #254 of 467 ranked by population — larger than 45% of them. The median age here is 58.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Donovan Estates CDP earn a median of $39,018 a year, 50.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 39% below the $63,545 median for the 206 Arizona cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Donovan Estates CDP is valued at $159,500, 47.4% below the national figure and 34% below the $242,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 70.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 58.4 puts Donovan Estates 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. With 623 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Donovan Estates CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Donovan Estates 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.
