Bisbee is a very small city located in the state of Arizona. With a population of 4,994 people and three associated neighborhoods, Bisbee is the 73rd largest community in Arizona. Bisbee has an unusually large stock of pre-World War II architecture, making it one of the older and more historic cities.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 21.84% 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, Bisbee is worth considering.
Residents of the city have the good fortune of having one of the shortest daily commutes compared to the rest of the country. On average, they spend only 18.74 minutes getting to work every day.
The education level of Bisbee citizens is substantially higher than the typical US community, as 32.59% of adults in Bisbee have at least a bachelor's degree.
The per capita income in Bisbee in 2022 was $31,970, which is middle income relative to Arizona and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $127,880 for a family of four. However, Bisbee contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
