WeSERV Pinal County and City of Eloy Housing Demand Survey 2024
The problem: Economic Development is booming in Pinal County bringing with it a large number of new jobs and people to work those jobs. The majority of newly arriving wage earner jobs pay $45,000 a year gross income to $95,000 a year gross income.
What are the housing prospects for wage earners in this income group?
WeSERV has been in conversations with members and local governments for over five years, discussing housing for wage earners in the $45,000 per year to $95,000 per year gross income group. Across our jurisdiction (West Valley, Southeast Valley, Pinal, Cochise and Santa Cruz) these wage earners have found it increasingly difficult to attain housing within 25% to 30% of their net income.
Why does WeSERV concentrate on these wage earners? Because these are the wage earners who keep society running. They are police officers, fire fighters, teachers, nurses, construction workers, truck drivers, real estate agents, lenders, small business owners, city workers, retail workers, and most of the workers you and I meet and do business with on a daily basis.
