Arizona continues its most rapid growth on the edges of its largest communities, including Pinal County.
New figures to be released Thursday from the U.S. Census Bureau finds Queen Creek grew a whopping 8.2 percent in the year ending June 30, 2016. Those are the most recent figures available from the federal agency.
Jim Chang, the state demographer, told Capitol Media Services this isn’t some sort of mistake.
“That number is actually very real,’’ he said, mirroring estimates he makes for the state Office of Economic Opportunity.
