Morenci, AZ population, income and ZIP codes

Morenci CDP is a small town in Arizona, with 1,514 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #177 of 467 ranked by population — larger than 62% of them. The median age here is 36.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Morenci CDP earn a median of $79,800 a year, 1.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 26% above 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 5.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Morenci CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $554 a month, 60.6% below the national figure, or roughly $6,648 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 8.3% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. 4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

The Census withheld home value for Morenci 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.
