Avra Valley, Arizona has about 6,277 people. That count is a 2020–2024 Census average, not a headcount from one day.
A typical home is worth about $158,400.
HUD's fair-market rent for a 2-bedroom in Pima County is $1,405 a month. That is the county number, not an apartment listing in Avra Valley. It runs from October 2026 through September 2027.
In the Tucson, AZ metro area, prices sit at 96.9 when the U.S. average is 100. That is a 2024 BEA index.
Arizona taxes wages. A typical combined sales tax is 8.5% as of January 1, 2026. That mix is statewide, not Avra Valley's exact store tax.
In July 2026, a typical Arizona home paid 15.38¢ per kilowatt-hour. That is a state average from EIA, not Avra Valley's bill.
EIA does not publish a Arizona gasoline price. The West Coast (PADD 5) Except California all-grades price was $5.167 a gallon on September 15, 2026. The weekly file does not include that series, so this is the monthly price. At 12,000 miles a year and 25 mpg, the index counts that as $2,480.16 a year. Those miles are our standard, not a Census figure, and every town in Arizona shares this price.
