Williams, AZ population, income and ZIP codes

Williams city is a small town in Arizona, with 3,322 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #118 of 467 ranked by population — larger than 74% of them. The median age here is 39.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Williams city earn a median of $66,183 a year, 15.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 4% above 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 13.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Williams city is valued at $457,500, 50.8% above the national figure and 89% above the $242,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,122 a month, 20.2% below the national figure, or roughly $13,464 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.3% 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 6.9×, 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. 77.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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 6.9× 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
