Arizona

Arizona is the fourteenth-most populous state and one of the fastest-growing in the country. Almost two thirds of its residents live in Maricopa County, around Phoenix — the fifth-largest city in the United States. Semiconductors, aerospace, tourism, healthcare and retirement migration drive the economy, while the Colorado River and Central Arizona Project make water the state's defining long-term constraint.
