Arizona City is a somewhat small town located in the state of Arizona. With a population of 9,868 people and three associated neighborhoods, Arizona City is the 54th largest community in Arizona. Arizona City has seen a significant amount of newer housing growth in recent years. Quite often, new home construction is the result of new residents moving in who are middle class or wealthier, attracted by jobs, a healthy local economy, or other amenities as they leave nearby or far away areas for greener pastures. This seems to be the case in Arizona City, where the median household income is $54,519.00.
