Demographics

It was said that the best way to know about a place is through the people living in it. Quartzsite.com took this by heart so we took the initiative of gathering accurate data regarding the town’s demographics.

Out of 19,715 people in La Paz County, about 3,354 are living in Quartzsite. This is in reference to the 2000 survey conducted by the United States Census Bureau.
