Tucson Population Boom Fades Decline in Growth Rate Noted
Frank Sortelli of the city planning department notes Tucson’s growth rate has slowed from 8.5 percent in the 1950s to about 2.8 percent now. New residents remain about 8,000 annually, with housing shifts from rapid suburban tracts to more apartments and single-family homes. He says the boom days are gone and unlikely to return soon.
