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 vacation destination. A significant portion of the population is seasonal. During the vacation season, the town experiences a large influx of people who take up residence in second homes they own in the area. As the vacation season ends, the population drops again, leaving behind a substantially quieter and smaller town.

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.

It is a fairly quiet town because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. (Children, for example, often can't help themselves from being noisy, and being parents ourselves, we know!) Parks has relatively few families with children living at home, and is quieter because of it. Renters and college students, for their own reasons, can also be noisy. Parks has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Parks than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Parks may be for you.

One downside of living in Parks, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 32.40 minutes every day commuting to work.

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

The education level of Parks ranks among the highest in the nation. Of the 25-and-older adult population in Parks, 40.06% have at least a bachelor's degree. The typical US community has just 21.84% of its adults holding a bachelor's degree or graduate degree.

The per capita income in Parks in 2022 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.
