What it’s like
The place. Wittmann is a very small community in the desert northwest of Phoenix, in Maricopa County. Winters are mild and summers are long and extremely hot, with little or no snow and not much rain through the year. Households here have incomes below the county's, and almost no one lives below the poverty line.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in shops, and in banks, insurance and property. The commute is long, so many people travel some distance for work. Across Maricopa County, some of the largest workplaces are the City of Phoenix, Arizona State University and Mayo Clinic Hospital.
Things to do. A longer drive away, Lake Pleasant Regional Park is a protected area with a lake, and White Tank Mountain Regional Park is another protected area of desert mountains. For a day out, State Farm Stadium is a stadium and Wildlife World Zoo is a zoo, both a longer drive away.

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.
