Abstract

Maricopa County Arizona is home to about 3.5 million people who live in 24 incorporated cities and towns and 32 unincorporated communities. It is a place with a mix of people, most of who have come from somewhere else, but it also includes individuals and families who have been on the land for generations. The popular, global media vision holds that the communities of Maricopa County, notably metropolitan Phoenix and its suburbs, were built yesterday, and that everything is new and fresh. It is thought of as a place to engage several grand American traditions: arrival, starting over, self-reinvention, financial establishment through real estate investment, and active retirement.
