Maricopa County, not Buckeye
Maricopa County context, not Buckeye figures
These are Maricopa County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Buckeye measurements.

- Employment at those establishments, Maricopa County2,016,986
- Covered employment, Maricopa County2,280,645
- Average annual pay, Maricopa County$73,840
- Average weekly wage, Maricopa County$1,420
- Housing units permitted, Maricopa County36,380

- Average income of an arriving household, Maricopa County$98,820
Every figure in this section is published for Maricopa County as a whole and is not a measurement of Buckeye. It is here because a county backdrop is what a credit committee reads a place against, and it is labelled so that it can never be quoted as the place's own.

Coverage
What this page does not hold.
Every item below could be filled with a plausible figure. None of them is. On a page a lender may read, a number that cannot be traced is worse than an absence, so the absences are named.
- Parcel level detail, zoning and flood zone at an address are resolved in the platform, not on this page.
SBA figures count approvals to borrowers whose address is in the place. They are not approvals for projects inside the place boundary: the tape records a borrower city and a project county, and those can differ.
Common questions
Buckeye questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Buckeye, Arizona?
104,923, in 32,670 households. Buckeye city covers 395.38 square miles of land, which is 265 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Buckeye in?
Maricopa County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
What is the median household income in Buckeye?
$99,486. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $419,800. Median gross rent is $1,963 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Buckeye businesses?
81 7(a) approvals totalling $45.9 m, across 35 lenders, median approval $177,000, plus 12 504 approvals worth $17.7 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Buckeye, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Buckeye borrowers get paid back?
Of the 12 loans that have reached a final outcome, 8 were paid in full and 4 charged off, a charge off rate of 33.3 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Buckeye in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Buckeye appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 040039, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Buckeye figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Maricopa County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Buckeye.
Is zoning published for Buckeye?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
