Prescott Valley, AZ population, income and ZIP codes

Prescott Valley town is a small city in Arizona, with 48,048 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #24 of 467 ranked by population — larger than 95% of them. The median age here is 47.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Prescott Valley town earn a median of $70,793 a year, 9.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 11% 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 12.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Prescott Valley town is valued at $376,300, 24% above the national figure and 55% above the $242,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,471 a month, 4.6% above the national figure, or roughly $17,652 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.9% 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 5.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 70.8% 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
