Maricopa city, AZ in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Maricopa city is a small city in Arizona, with 62,986 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #19 of 467 ranked by population — larger than 96% of them. The median age here is 36.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Maricopa city earn a median of $94,208 a year, 20% above the national figure of $78,538 and 48% above the $63,545 median for the 206 Arizona cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 6.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Maricopa city is valued at $338,600, 11.6% above the national figure and 40% above the $242,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,919 a month, 36.5% above the national figure, or roughly $23,028 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.4% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 83% 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.
