Parks is a very small town located in the state of Arizona. With a population of 1,382 people and two associated neighborhoods, Parks is the 137th largest community in Arizona.

Parks real estate is some of the most expensive in Arizona, although Parks house values don't compare to the most expensive real estate in the U.S.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 10.70% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

Another notable thing is that Parks is an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the town’s population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends. Because of this, much of the local economy is centered around tourism; some businesses may be operated only during the high season. During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially quieter place to live.

Because of many things, Parks is a great place for families with children to consider. First of all, many other families with children live here, making Parks a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families, as well as find family-oriented services and community. The town’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic values. With regard to real estate, Parks has a high rate of owner-occupied single family homes, which tends to reflect stability in the local community. Finally, Parks’s overall crime rate ranks among the lowest in the country, making it one of the safest places to raise a family.

The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Parks has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Parks a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.

One downside of living in Parks is that it can take a long time to commute to work. In Parks, the average commute to work is 32.40 minutes, which is quite a bit higher than the national average.

Being a small town, Parks does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.

The citizens of Parks are among the most well-educated in the nation: 40.06% of adults in Parks have a bachelor's degree or even advanced degree, whereas the average US city has 21.84% holding at least a bachelor's degree.

The per capita income in Parks in 2018 was $42,436, which is wealthy relative to Arizona, and upper middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $169,744 for a family of four. However, Parks contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
