Gila Crossing, AZ population, income and ZIP codes

Gila Crossing CDP is a very small community in Arizona, with 965 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #211 of 467 ranked by population — larger than 54% of them. The median age here is 29.9 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 Gila Crossing CDP earn a median of $53,846 a year, 31.4% 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 29.8% 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 Gila Crossing CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 80.2% 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.

A median age of 29.9 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. With 965 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Gila Crossing CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Gila Crossing 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.
