The Phoenix suburbs are some of the only places in the United States that are growing right now. Queen Creek only had 4,000 people in the year 2000. Now at over 70,000.
Went to look at the source data, since I was surprised Sun City wasn't on here (only 37k residents, smaller than I thought) and noticed there's a CDP called Willow Canyon with a population of... 1.
Let me get this straight. Most of the big cities in Arizona are in Maricopa County, but there's a city that's actually called Maricopa, and it's not in Maricopa County?
Prescott Valley grew so much those last years that it did pass Prescott recently.
That's kind of a curveball for this quiz purposes though, considering the location, I wondered if there was some typo and I guessed it seconds away from triple zero.
The difference between a city and a town is not its size. Though it varies by state, in general it's whether or not the... place... is incorporated as a city. The smallest 'city' in Arizona is Tombstone, with a massive population of ~1400, where the largest 'town' is Maricopa with almost 210,000. I think I remember Arizona considering a requirement that any place applying for City status had to have 3000+ residents, but I don't know if that passed.
Dang it, I should have got Flagstaff. My parents went there (I think for their honeymoon? pre-children, anyway) and I tried to guess it, but realized when the time ended that I was writing Fairbanks instead XD
Anyways, 100 percent, as I live outside of Phoenix.
