Eloy is a medium-sized city located in the state of Arizona. With a population of 18,528 people and four associated neighborhoods, Eloy is the 43rd largest community in Arizona. Eloy has seen a significant amount of newer housing growth in recent years. Quite often, new home construction is the result of new residents moving in who are middle class or wealthier, attracted by jobs, a healthy local economy, or other amenities as they leave nearby or far away areas for greener pastures. This seems to be the case in Eloy, where the median household income is $54,080.00.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 8.46% 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.
Residents will find that the city is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Eloy is worth considering.
Eloy is a small city, and as such doesn't have a public transit system that people use to get to and from their jobs every day.
