While Maricopa County makes national headlines for its population boom in recent years, the numbers in Scottsdale aren’t ticking upward as quickly as officials once thought.
The city of Scottsdale population was estimated to be nearly 260,000 going into the 2020 U.S. Census, however, the national count that takes place once a decade revealed a lower number. The official population of Scottsdale is 241,000.
Population changes are important to Arizona municipalities as it can impact community services, financial gains or losses and the overall health of a city.
