Moving to
Sun City.

$1,569/mo median rent

Rent is pretty middle of the road, at $1,569 a month median. Not a bargain, not a budget-buster. About typical for a city this size. Home prices are reasonable, with a median around $280,900. Not a steal, but not intimidating either.

3.8% county unemployment

Unemployment in Maricopa County is 3.8%, close to the national average of 4.3%. That's the county-wide rate; BLS doesn't measure a place this size on its own.

277 violent crimes per 100k, whole jurisdiction

Sun City doesn't have its own police department, so there's no crime rate for it alone. The figures shown are for the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office jurisdiction as a whole, which runs below the national average for violent crime and covers many communities. Individual neighborhoods can differ a lot from that overall rate.

24 min average commute

Commutes run about average, at 24.1 minutes. Fine day to day, but it adds up over a year, and where someone lives relative to where they work starts to matter. 8 in 10 workers drive to work; 19% work from home.

1 hospital

There's one Medicare-certified hospital inside city limits, rated 3.0 out of 5 by Medicare. Hospitals in neighboring towns aren't counted here.

26% bachelor's degree or higher

College degree attainment runs below average at 26%. That tends to reflect a more trade and working-class economy, which can be great or limiting depending on the industry.

0 public schools inside the boundary

No public school is located inside the boundary; students attend schools in the surrounding district.

The nearest national park or historic site is Casa Grande Ruins National Monument (61 miles away). There are 4 national parks and sites within a day's drive.
