The verdict
Texas leads ZIP coverage at 1,935 ZCTAs (#1 of 52). That is not the income board: New Jersey's unweighted average ZIP household income is $121,992 (#1 of 52) on 595 ZCTAs.

ZIP-count and income are separate boards among 52 reporting states and territories. Income is the unweighted mean of each ZIP's ACS 2019–2023 median household income, so a rural code counts the same as a dense metro.
Mid-to-lower income with a contained ZIP set (405 codes · 15 counties). Average household income $72,649 and home value $337,402 should be read next to the largest city page, not as a national peer of mosaic states. Use the county RankBars to pick two markets, then compare ZIPs inside those counties.
The largest city, Phoenix (1,312,922), holds a moderate share (~21%) of state ZIP population. Expect a primary metro plus a long tail of mid-size markets: the top-cities chart and county RankBars both matter, and a two-ZIP compare inside vs outside Phoenix usually beats reading the state average alone.
Compact ZIP geography: the state page is closer to a directory than a mega-atlas. Prefer the largest city page and its primary ZIP over scanning every county, and keep the FAQ answers as the quick census totals.

What this shows Phoenix leads, but several peers sit close enough that this top-10 chart is a shortlist, not a single-city story – compare two of those metros before trusting the state mean.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Arizona compact enough to browse ZIP by ZIP?
Yes – 405 codes and 15 counties put Arizona in compact geography. Prefer the largest city page and its primary ZIP; the roll-ups here are quick census totals, not a substitute for opening one urban and one thin-edge code.
Why is Arizona's average ZIP income a weak relocation signal by itself?
At $72,649, the state mean blends unlike county labor markets (homes average $337,402). Cost-of-living questions belong at county and ZIP scale: start from the most populous counties, then drop to a thin-edge ZIP to see whether the mean is a real center or a blend.
Which Arizona cities should I open first?
Start with Phoenix (1,312,922, ~21% of ZIP population), then one mid-size market from the largest-cities chart. A two-ZIP compare inside vs outside Phoenix usually beats reading the state average alone. Other large markets include Tucson, Mesa, Glendale.
