Star Valley, AZ population, income and ZIP codes

Star Valley town is a small town in Arizona, with 2,517 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #137 of 467 ranked by population — larger than 70% of them. The median age here is 66 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 Star Valley town earn a median of $66,075 a year, 15.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 4% above 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 6.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Star Valley town is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $966 a month, 31.3% below the national figure, or roughly $11,592 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. 84.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 66 puts Star Valley town 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.

The Census withheld home value for Star Valley town because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
