Arivaca, AZ (ZIP 85601) sits in Pima County within the Tucson metro area. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in above the national average at 44.5%. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. 3 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $1,606. Local establishments report average pay of $24,236 per worker (Census ZBP) — below the US average. Federal QCEW filings show 386,312 covered jobs in this ZIP's primary county — a major regional employment hub. CDC's Social Vulnerability Index places this ZIP in the 78th percentile nationally — a highly vulnerable community profile. Flood accounts for 53% of the 15 FEMA disaster declarations on record for this ZIP. Annual precipitation averages just 14.2" per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals — an arid-climate ZCTA where landscaping and water-budget choices matter more than national averages suggest. 28.6% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. Per IRS migration filings (2022-2023), the area's primary county netted $244,732,000 in incoming taxable income — a wealth-inflow signal even when headcount churn is modest. Healthcare access is the area's quieter strength; school options sit on the lighter side, so families may find themselves looking at districts a few ZIPs over. Notable: median household income $31,636, fair market rent of $1,200 for a two-bedroom, and a median home value of $86,000. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.
