A long-awaited milestone in the growth of Maricopa has finally been reached.
The city announced Friday that the latest estimate from the U.S. Census Bureau puts Maricopa’s population at 51,977. That number has been approved by the Arizona State Demographer’s Office, the Maricopa Association of Governments and Central Arizona Governments.
Apart from being a nice figure on its own, 50,000 has long been seen as a goal for city leaders due to the economic advantages the number can bring.
