Wheatfields, AZ population, income and ZIP codes

Wheatfields CDP is a very small community in Arizona, with 409 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #303 of 467 ranked by population — larger than 35% of them. The median age here is 58 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 Wheatfields CDP earn a median of $50,909 a year, 35.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 20% below the $63,545 median for the 206 Arizona cities we cover. 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 16.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Wheatfields CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $864 a month, 38.5% below the national figure, or roughly $10,368 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. 70.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 58 puts Wheatfields 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 409 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Wheatfields CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value for Wheatfields 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.
