Living in Arizona

Arizona's year-round warm weather and unique desert scenery have made it a popular vacation destination, but Arizona has plenty to appeal to residents as well. Many of Arizona's largest businesses are located in the Valley of the Sun, which contains the Phoenix metropolitan area. Some two thirds of the state's population lives within this urban area. Much of Arizona outside this region is untouched desert, with mid-sized cities and small towns interspersed along the interstates.
