What it’s like
The place. Aguila is a very small community in the desert of Maricopa County, with far fewer people than most towns on this site. Typical home values here are well below what the county's higher incomes might suggest, which sets it apart from much of the Phoenix area. Winters are mild, summers are very hot, and rain and snow are scarce through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in professional and business services, shops, and banks, insurance and property. Across Maricopa County, some of the largest workplaces are the City of Phoenix, Mayo Clinic Hospital and Grand Canyon University. Unemployment across the county is a little higher than a year ago, while the number of jobs has edged up slightly.
Things to do. The land around Aguila is open desert, and most outdoor places are a longer drive away. The Hassayampa River and the Hassayampa River Preserve offer a river setting and a protected area to walk through. Hummingbird Springs Wilderness is another protected area, also a longer drive from town.

From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Maricopa County and the Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler, AZ metro.
