Benson is a somewhat small city located in the state of Arizona. With a population of 5,499 people and two associated neighborhoods, Benson is the 70th largest community in Arizona.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 8.32% 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, Benson is worth considering.

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

The overall education level of Benson is somewhat higher than in the average US city of 21.84%: 25.17% of adults 25 and older in the city have at least a bachelor's degree.
