ARIZONA: FRONTIERS NEW AND OLD
A sprawling natural wonderland at the heart of the American Southwest, Arizona is also one of the fastest-growing states in the country. A vast, largely uninhabited desert landscape as recently as the early 20th century, Arizona is now home to more than five million residents. A national leader in electronics, software, aerospace engineering and agriculture among other industries, Arizona offers a flourishing economy, breathtaking natural scenery, countless options for outdoor recreation and leisure, affordable housing and a rich cultural life. From the Grand Canyon to Lake Powell, from the old frontier towns to the modern metropolis of Phoenix, Arizona is a land of great promise and boundless opportunity.
In recent times, Arizona has become a major warm-weather tourist and retirement destination, much like Florida. A major part of the tourism industry is based on the presence of the Grand Canyon. With a gorgeous natural landscape, countless historical sites, parks and museums, a booming high-tech economy, excellent state services and a progressive approach to future growth, Arizona remains a great place to live, work and explore.
Climate
Due to its great size and variations in elevation, the state of Arizona has greatly varying climate conditions from one area to another. Lowlands are predominantly desert, with very hot and dry summers, cooler nights and moderate winters. The state's northern plateau has a significantly cooler climate, with mild summers and frequent snowfall in the winter.
Population:
One of the fastest-growing states in the nation, Arizona has a population of over 6.1 million, an increase of more than 1 million since the year 2000. The state's population is largely concentrated in the metropolitan areas of Phoenix and Tucson, the state's two largest cities. While there are smaller population centers around Yuma (in the southwest corner) and Flagstaff (in north-central Arizona), vast areas of the state remain largely uninhabited, due in great part to the desert climate.
