Just heard on the news that our population grew in excess of 100,000 in 2006-2007, and we now have around 3.5 million people. As a Realtor, this does not surprise me in the lease. Why wouldn’t anyone want to live in Arizona? Just this week I’ve spoken and met with people from Michigan and Connecticut and Canada. They want to have a place to live during the winter months. It’s funny. I tell them how cold our winter has been and they just chuckle. I’ve included an excerpt from the Arizona Republic which will come out tomorrow:
“The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that Maricopa County had a net gain of about 102,000 people from July 1, 2006, to July 1, 2007, for the biggest numeric gain of any county in the country. Pinal County gained an estimated 30,930 residents during that period and was the nation’s third-fastest growing county with an increase of 11.5 percent. Seventy of the 100 fastest-growing counties from 2006-07 were in the South, with 22 in the West and eight in the Midwest. The Census Bureau also estimates Maricopa County had the largest number of new residents from 2000 to 2007, adding 808,000 people. Pinal County was the fourth fastest growing county in the country during the time, growing 66.5 percent from 179,715 residents to 299,246. ”
