Village of Oak Creek (Big Park), AZ population, income and ZIP codes

Village of Oak Creek (Big Park) CDP is a mid-size town in Arizona, with 6,340 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #85 of 467 ranked by population — larger than 81% 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. 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 Village of Oak Creek (Big Park) CDP earn a median of $80,197 a year, 2.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 26% 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 13.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Village of Oak Creek (Big Park) CDP is valued at $654,000, 115.6% above the national figure and 169% above the $242,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,640 a month, 16.6% above the national figure, or roughly $19,680 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 8.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is out of reach on local earnings alone and the ownership market leans on outside income, equity or dual high earners. 61.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Home values sit at 8.2× median household income, far past the 3.9× national mark, so ownership costs here are set by something other than local wages — second homes, retirees with equity, or commuters earning elsewhere. A median age of 66 puts Village of Oak Creek (Big Park) 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.
