Living in Florence



Florence is a medium-sized town located in the state of Arizona. With a population of 24,795 people and nine constituent neighborhoods, Florence is the 33rd largest community in Arizona. Florence 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 Florence, where the median household income is $63,072.00.

A relatively large number of people in Florence telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 16.19% of the workforce works from home.

Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
