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 real estate is some of the most expensive in Arizona, although Parks house values don't compare to the most expensive real estate in the U.S.

A relatively large number of people in Parks telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 10.70% of the workforce works from home. While this may seem like a small number, as a fraction of the total workforce it ranks among the highest in the country. 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 destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the town’s population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends. Because of this, much of the local economy is centered around tourism; some businesses may be operated only during the high season. During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially quieter place to live.

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, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 32.40 minutes every day commuting to work.

As is often the case in a small town, Parks doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.

The education level of Parks ranks among the highest in the nation. Of the 25-and-older adult population in Parks, 40.06% 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 $42,436, which is wealthy relative to Arizona, and upper middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $169,744 for a family of four. However, Parks contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.

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, followed by Native American. Important ancestries of people in Parks include German, English, Danish, Irish, and Italian.
