Property tax · $103/mo 0.47% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Pinal County, AZ
Insurance & upkeep · $281/mo insurance, maintenance and repairs together, from the BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey — the national figure for mortgaged homeowners, scaled to this market's home value. BLS publishes the three bundled and they cannot be split.
Both are priced off the same month's home value, so they rise with the market. Neither is a quote — a specific home's bill depends on its assessment, its age and its insurer.

What it’s like
The place. Coolidge is a small city in Pinal County with a young population, many residents being younger than in most places. Most homes are lived in by their owners, though rents and home prices both sit below the Pinal County income level that many households here earn less than. Incomes run below the county's, and a good number of residents live below the poverty line, while few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are mild, with little or no snow, and summers are very hot and dry.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in government, in shops and in professional and business services. The Coolidge Unified District, Stinger Bridge & Iron, which makes metal bridge sections, and Safeway are among the largest workplaces in town. Many people drive to work, and some work from home. Unemployment across Pinal County has risen a little over the past year, even as the county has added jobs.
Things to do. Casa Grande Ruins National Monument is a protected area only a short drive away, and Picacho Reservoir is another short drive. Farther out, Picacho Peak State Park and San Tan Mountain Regional Park offer open desert country for walking and views. Summer days are best avoided for outdoor time because of the heat, and the cooler months suit these trips better.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Coolidge’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
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 Pinal County and the Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler, AZ metro.
