Yarnell CDP, AZ in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Yarnell CDP is a very small community in Arizona, with 586 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #258 of 467 ranked by population — larger than 44% of them. The median age here is 69.5 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 Yarnell CDP earn a median of $42,057 a year, 46.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 34% below the $63,545 median for the 206 Arizona cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 9.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Yarnell CDP is valued at $230,300, 24.1% below the national figure and 5% below the $242,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 77.1% 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 69.5 puts Yarnell 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 586 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Yarnell CDP against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld gross rent for Yarnell 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.
