The short answer

Corona de Tucson is home to 9,566 people. Median household income is $132,568 a year and median rent is $2,213 a month, 20.0% of income (a ratio of two medians, not any one household's burden). Rent pressure is lighter than in most places. The median home is valued at $382,700, about 2.9x annual median household income.

Corona de Tucson's housing market sets it apart. Owning with a mortgage costs about $157 a month less than the median rent, a rarer pattern than in 97% of places its size. Also notable: Housing became less affordable between 2019 and 2024: rent went from 17.6% to 20% of income.
