13. Population Growth and Projected Trends 1990 to 2030
The Arizona Department of Economic Security constructs projections of population for all counties in Arizona. These projections serve as the basis for municipalities, counties, and other government entities to use in planning for future growth needs. AZ DES projects that the population in 2025 in the service area will be 262,059. However, actual U.S. Census Bureau population numbers for 2003 of 195,760 for the two counties foretell stronger growth than projected by DES (see aqua trend line).
