Valle Vista CDP, AZ in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Valle Vista CDP is a small town in Arizona, with 2,376 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #141 of 467 ranked by population — larger than 69% of them. The median age here is 60.6 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 Valle Vista CDP earn a median of $46,690 a year, 40.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 27% below 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 12.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Valle Vista CDP is valued at $233,300, 23.1% below the national figure and 4% below the $242,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,304 a month, 7.3% below the national figure, or roughly $15,648 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 33.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 84.4% 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 60.6 puts Valle Vista 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
