Eloy city, AZ in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Eloy city is a mid-size town in Arizona, with 16,671 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #46 of 467 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 41 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Eloy city earn a median of $54,080 a year, 31.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 15% 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 21.3% 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 Eloy city is valued at $243,600, 19.7% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $242,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $938 a month, 33.3% below the national figure, or roughly $11,256 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.8% 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 4.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 67.1% 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.

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.
