Parks profile


Living in Parks



Parks is a very small town located in the state of Arizona. With a population of 1,382 people and two associated neighborhoods, Parks is the 137th largest community in Arizona.

Parks home prices are not only among the most expensive in Arizona, but Parks real estate also consistently ranks among the most expensive in America.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 22.50% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

Another notable thing is that Parks is an extremely popular vacation destination. A significant portion of the population is seasonal. During the vacation season, the town experiences a large influx of people who take up residence in second homes they own in the area. As the vacation season ends, the population drops again, leaving behind a substantially quieter and smaller town.

Because of many things, Parks is a great place for families with children to consider. First of all, many other families with children live here, making Parks a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families, as well as find family-oriented services and community. The town’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic values. With regard to real estate, Parks has a high rate of owner-occupied single family homes, which tends to reflect stability in the local community. Finally, Parks’s overall crime rate ranks among the lowest in the country, making it one of the safest places to raise a family.

Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Parks is worth considering.

One downside of living in Parks is that it can take a long time to commute to work. In Parks, the average commute to work is 33.63 minutes, which is quite a bit higher than the national average.

Parks is a small town, and as such doesn't have a public transit system that people use to get to and from their jobs every day.

The education level of Parks ranks among the highest in the nation. Of the 25-and-older adult population in Parks, 45.43% have at least a bachelor's degree. The typical US community has just 21.84% of its adults holding a bachelor's degree or graduate degree.

The per capita income in Parks in 2022 was $46,335, which is wealthy relative to Arizona, and upper middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $185,340 for a family of four. However, Parks contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.

Parks is a somewhat ethnically-diverse town. The people who call Parks home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of Parks residents report their race to be White. Important ancestries of people in Parks include German, English, Irish, Danish, and Polish.
