Maricopa County, not Sun City
Maricopa County context, not Sun City 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 Sun City measurements.
- Establishments in Maricopa County109,863
- 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
- Of those, single family, Maricopa County21,667
- County product, 2024, Maricopa County$419,250,222,000
- County product change over the prior year, Maricopa County7.7 percent
- 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 Sun City. 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.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- 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
Sun City questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Sun City, Arizona?
37,486, in 22,718 households. Sun City CDP covers 14.42 square miles of land, which is 2,600 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.

Maricopa County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.

$54,586. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $280,900. Median gross rent is $1,569 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Sun City businesses?
33 7(a) approvals totalling $21.3 m, across 20 lenders, median approval $209,000, plus 3 504 approvals worth $3.4 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Sun City, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Sun City borrowers get paid back?
Of the 10 loans that have reached a final outcome, 9 were paid in full and 1 charged off, a charge off rate of 10.0 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Are the county figures on this page Sun City 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 Sun City.
Is zoning published for Sun City?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
