PHOENIX — Two Arizona cities outside of metro Phoenix crossed key population milestones as the state remains one of fastest growing in the nation.
After the U.S. Census Bureau reported last year that Phoenix had the second largest population growth from July 2021 to July 2022, this year’s report on May 16 showed strong growth outside of metro Phoenix. Yuma, one of Arizona’s largest cities outside of metro Phoenix, passed a population of 100,000 in 2023, one of four U.S. cities to reach the mark. In northern Arizona, Prescott Valley was one five cities to reach a population of 50,000.
