Sahuarita town, AZ in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Sahuarita town is a small city in Arizona, with 35,012 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #33 of 467 ranked by population — larger than 93% of them. The median age here is 36.4 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 Sahuarita town earn a median of $100,719 a year, 28.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 59% above 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 8.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Sahuarita town is valued at $341,800, 12.7% above the national figure and 41% above the $242,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,763 a month, 25.4% above the national figure, or roughly $21,156 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21% 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 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 79.4% 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.
