Peoria city, AZ in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Peoria city is a mid-size city in Arizona, with 194,338 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #8 of 467 ranked by population — larger than 98% of them. The median age here is 42.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.

Households in Peoria city earn a median of $93,403 a year, 18.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 47% 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 8.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Peoria city is valued at $429,400, 41.5% above the national figure and 77% above the $242,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,743 a month, 24% above the national figure, or roughly $20,916 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.4% 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 4.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 75.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
