Somerton city, AZ in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Somerton city is a mid-size town in Arizona, with 14,383 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #53 of 467 ranked by population — larger than 88% of them. The median age here is 30.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Somerton city earn a median of $71,825 a year, 8.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 13% 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 15.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Somerton city is valued at $206,100, 32.1% below the national figure and 15% below the $242,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $909 a month, 35.3% below the national figure, or roughly $10,908 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.2% 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 72.4% 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.
