San Carlos, Arizona has about 4,973 people. That count is a 2020–2024 Census average, not a headcount from one day.
A typical home is worth about $67,200.
HUD's fair-market rent for a 2-bedroom in Gila County is $1,380 a month. That is the county number, not an apartment listing in San Carlos. It runs from October 2026 through September 2027.
Arizona's prices sit at 100.7 when the U.S. average is 100. This place is not in a metro area with its own index, so this is the state number from BEA for 2024.
Arizona taxes wages. A typical combined sales tax is 8.5% as of January 1, 2026. That mix is statewide, not San Carlos'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 San Carlos's bill.
