What it’s like
The place. Globe is a small city and the seat of Gila County, home to an older population than the typical American community. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run above the county's, though a noticeable part of residents live below the poverty line. A four-year degree is held by a smaller share of adults than in many places.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, in farming, forestry and mining, and in shops. Among the largest workplaces in Globe are Gila County Government, Globe Unified District and Fry's Food Stores of Arizona. Unemployment across the county is higher than a year ago, and the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. Besh-Ba-Gowah, an archaeological site, and the Elks Building, a theatre, are both in or beside town. A longer drive away are Tonto National Monument, another archaeological site, and San Carlos Lake, a reservoir. Winters are cool and summers are hot, with modest rain and melted snow through the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Globe’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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 Gila County and the Payson, AZ metro.
