Living in Arizona: Sun Belt growth, semiconductors and heat
Arizona has become one of the fastest-growing states, powered by semiconductor plants, logistics, healthcare and a steady flow of newcomers to the Phoenix and Tucson metros. The business climate is considered friendly, with moderate taxes and a large supply of new housing on the desert fringe.
Growth has a price: summer cooling bills, water concerns and traffic in the Valley keep rising, and home prices in desirable Phoenix neighborhoods have climbed far faster than wages. Still, for workers in tech, construction and services, Arizona offers a blend of opportunity and relative affordability that few western states can match.
