It is not often that a city in the United States is incorporated as late as 1920, but this is just the case where Gilbert, AZ is concerned. It was created from lands provided by William Gilbert for use by the Arizona Eastern Railway. It served as a connecting point between the emerging cities of Phoenix and Florence, AZ, but is today one of the fastest growing and highly-rated cities throughout the entire United States.

Gilbert is comprised of more than 76 square miles, and has gone from being the “Hay Capital of the World” to an affluent community which creates an impressive amount of economic stability through diversity. This is partially by choice and partially by necessity due to the massive expansion in the population which has occurred over the course of the past thirty years. In 1980 the city was home to less than 6,000 residents, but today that number as swelled to over 200,000.

Its agricultural history is due in part to the proximity of the ancient Hohokam tribe’s once expansive canal systems. These converted the surrounding desert areas into workable fields, but this industry has declined as the area transitions into one in which aerospace and technology companies abound.

Gilbert AZ Real Estate Analysis and Demographics

The city of Gilbert has been identified as one of the “Top 100 Places to Live” by the CNN Money Magazine, and the Gilbert public schools are continually ranked as the best in the state. It is also an area of low crime and considered among the safest of all American cities as well.

Today, the major areas of employment include health services, technology, renewable energy, waste removal, and a large number of corporate facilities. Roughly 35% of the residents hold a Bachelor’s degree, and this results in one of the highest median incomes too. While the state average hovers around $50,000 per year, the Gilbert households will bring in an average of $82,700 each year.

This higher average can also be seen in housing values and prices too. Gilbert Arizona real estate statistics indicate that the median house value in the city exceeds the state average by more than $75,000 with prices for homes and condos averaging around $304,000. The median rents are much higher too, and stand at $1,200 per month. This is all the result of the consistent positive growth and the stability throughout the entire community. Consider that the city’s unemployment rate is only half that of the state average and that the city was spotlighted because of its incredibly low (often non-existent) crime rate – there is not even one full-time officer of the law per every one thousand residents!
