Gilbert among Arizona cities showing slow growth.

With the downtown skyline in the background, a new housing development goes up Aug. 12, 2021, in Phoenix. New figures from the Census Bureau show growth has largely stalled — and, in some cases, is actually declining — in cities and towns around Arizona.

PHOENIX — The state’s largest cities are in no danger of losing their status — at least not immediately.

But new figures from the Census Bureau show the trend is decidedly not in their favor as their growth has largely stalled — and, in some cases, is declining.

Gilbert is among those slowing, showing 0.1% growth in the past 12 month to 287,285, though growth since 2000 is at 8.2% and the town has passed Chandler into fourth largest in Arizona.
