Arizona has maintained a phenomenal growth rate since the 1990s, a trend that has continued into the first decade of the new millennium and shows no sign of slowing. The actual 2010 census is just beginning to unfold, but right now we can review the statistics for the period from 2000 through 2008.Arizona had a population ranking of 20 among the 50 states in the 2000 census.
By 2008, Arizona ranked 14th in the nation.
The 2000 Census reported a population of 5,130,632 in Arizona.
The 2008 estimate is 6,500,180.
DO THE MATH FOR A REMARKABLE GROWTH RATE OF 26.7 PERCENT!
Why are so many people flocking to Arizona? Many people are tired of digging out of the snow for half the year. Some want to escape the constant threat of natural disasters like hurricanes and earthquakes. Others are drawn to the high quality of life and comparatively low cost of living. Natural beauty, unique landscapes, world-class recreation, and abundant sunshine are other magnets to the enchanting Southwest.
The state has tremendous appeal to newcomers of all ages, whether young professionals, families or empty-nesters. Arizona is exceptionally attractive to retirees because the lifestyle is so affordable and the tax structure is favorable. The state repealed its estate tax, has no gift or inheritance tax, and does not tax social security benefits or railroad retirement benefits.
Population expansion inevitably brings a boom of new development, and Arizona is no exception. "Housing developments are sprouting everywhere, whether they are on former farmland or in the desert," said Tom Rex, associate director of the Center for Competitiveness and Prosperity Research at Arizona State University.
With only 17 percent of the state's land available for private ownership, the time to act is NOW!
Beautiful, affordable land is still available in the rural, less-developed regions of the state, but none is more desirable than the Sunsites area of southeastern Arizona. Where else in the nation can you find a charming community filled with amenities, surrounded by national monuments and premier recreational land, plus a truly perfect climate at an ideal elevation? Add the important ingredient of location, location, location: The Sunsites area is just an hour's drive from Tucson, Arizona's second-largest metropolitan center.
With unrivaled pricing and terms from Camino Real Land Corporation, the monthly payment on a prime parcel of land is unbelievably affordable. Don't miss the opportunity to take advantage of today's special pricing. As availability dwindles, the price of land rises and eventually soars. The truly wise will buy highly desirable land in the path of growth--and wait!
