Top-of-the-World, AZ population, income and ZIP codes

Top-of-the-World CDP is a very small community in Arizona, with 125 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #384 of 467 ranked by population — larger than 17% of them. The median age here is 71.4 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 Top-of-the-World CDP earn a median of not published a year. 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 52.8% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Top-of-the-World CDP is valued at $9,999, 96.7% below the national figure and 96% below the $242,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 100% 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 71.4 puts Top-of-the-World 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 125 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Top-of-the-World CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld household income, gross rent for Top-of-the-World CDP 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.
