Six Shooter Canyon, AZ population, income and ZIP codes

Six Shooter Canyon CDP is a very small community in Arizona, with 966 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #210 of 467 ranked by population — larger than 55% of them. The median age here is 53.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Six Shooter Canyon CDP earn a median of $56,146 a year, 28.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 12% below the $63,545 median for the 206 Arizona cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 5.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Six Shooter Canyon CDP is valued at $215,800, 28.9% below the national figure and 11% below the $242,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $929 a month, 33.9% below the national figure, or roughly $11,148 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 68.3% 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.

A median age of 53.7 puts Six Shooter Canyon CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 966 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Six Shooter Canyon CDP against its county rather than against national figures.
