The Arizona Department of Economic Security has published its official population projections for the State and all counties: 2006 – 2055.
The links at right show the most widely used tables of these projections. Members of Pima Association of Governments (as well as those in the Phoenix Metro area) do not support the adoption and use of these projections.
It is our belief that these projections are unacceptably low, especially in the later periods. We believe that the population growth portrayed here does not reflect the more youthful forces of migration from foreign sources and makes Pima County appear too “old,” with too few births and too many deaths.
