Aguila first appeared on the 1920 U.S. Census as the 52nd Precinct of Maricopa County.[4] In 1930, it simply appeared as the Aguila Precinct. It was recorded as having a Spanish/Hispanic majority for that census[5] (the census would not separately feature that racial demographic again until 1980). With the combination of all county precincts into 3 districts in 1940, it did not formally appear again until 2010, when it was made a census-designated place (CDP).[6]

As of the census[7] of 2010, there were 798 people living in the CDP. The population density was 508.1 people per square mile. The racial makeup of the CDP was 64.66% White, 1.00% Black or African American, 3.63% Native American, 0.38% Asian, 0.25% Pacific Islander, 28.07% from other races, and 2.01% from two or more races. 69.42% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race.
