Challenges of Growth


Recently, I've been reviewing some population statistics on cities in Arizona. Several of them are grand examples of how quickly an area can change. Consider the following:

Buckeye
1990: 5,040
2014: 58,795

Gilbert
1990: 29,810
2014: 235,493

Goodyear
1990: 6,300
2014: 74,743

Marana
1990: 2,320
2014: 40,342

Sahuarita
1990: 1,629
2014: 27,476

Surprise
1990: 7,150
2014: 123,797

In the same time period, the state population went from 3,680,800 to 6,667,241.
