Kingman city, AZ in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Kingman city is a small city in Arizona, with 33,850 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #34 of 467 ranked by population — larger than 92% of them. The median age here is 44.2 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 Kingman city earn a median of $60,418 a year, 23.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 5% below the $63,545 median for the 206 Arizona cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 14.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Kingman city is valued at $242,700, 20% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $242,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $990 a month, 29.6% below the national figure, or roughly $11,880 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.7% 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 4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 67.7% 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.
