Talk:Phoenix metropolitan area

message: Circle City has over 10k people? Really? Look at it on a map. It's relatively small. It's a small retirement community. I'm pretty sure it has well under 10k, though I may be wrong. But please cite. --Node 06:38, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Bell Road becomes FLW Blvd at it's crossing with Scottsdale Road after diving south from it's normal alignment. Bell road continues it's normal alignment just north of this intersection. While it may be a source of confusion, this portion of the article needs to be rewritten to remove personal opinions, and if decided to be kept, written to demonstrate the actual geography of this area.

message: Per US Census Bureau figures, the Tonopah area (area code 85354) has the following information: "The Census 2000 population for Zip Code Tabulation Area 85354 is 2,966." Tonopah has been moved to the correct population category. Cascadia 18:05, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tonopah Population 

message: Hey, all.  Just made a minor change to the population information on here.  The article stated that the MSA has an estimated 2010 population of 5,979,427.  There were a couple problems with this figure.  First, it is not verifiable.  I checked into the US Census Bureau's page and found nothing to support this figure.  Secondly, figures for future populations are referred to as "projections" vice "estimates" as defined by the Census Bureau.  If the figure is a legitimate projection, please site the source from which this figure is drawn.  Unless these requirements are satisfied, it is safest to stick with the Census' most recent count from 2006 of 4,179,427.--Mustang1966 (talk) 07:58, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Metropolitan Population  

message: The "core" of a metropolitan area can be difficult to define. There was no concrete definition used for which cities and towns should be bolded; it seemed to be mostly subjective. Well, conveniently for us, the Census Bureau has already done all of the work, and it is based in numbers and statistics: 
That is a map of the Phoenix Metropolitan Area, excluding all peripheral suburbs. The way it is defined is this: a line can be made between each of those cities with houses or businesses or whatnot, without breaking for several acres of open space.
How does this affect the list? Most prominent among the unbolded places were peripheral West Valley cities - Buckeye, Goodyear, and Litchfield Park in particular. Only a tiny part of Avondale is within the core area, so it gets to stay. In fact, the heart of the far West Valley has its own Urban Cluster, the Avondale UC, which includes most of Avondale, Litchfield Park, and a large portion of Goodyear.
Also excluded were parts of the far North Valley - New River and Anthem, in particular. Cave Creek and Carefree only have tiny portions within the urban core, but I'm trying to be objective so they were included based on the fact that part of them, no matter how small, is located within the Census Bureau-defined urban core.
Among East Valley communities, Queen Creek, Gold Canyon, and Santan were also removed.
Although these communities are certainly urbanized and are part of the Phoenix area, they are not quite part of the core area, although that might have changed by the 2010 census (I'm predicting that by then, the Avondale UC will have grown into the Phoenix--Mesa UA). --Node (talk) 18:32, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

message: How is it a valley? i looked at a physical map of Arizona and i'm not seeing any valleys.....  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.165.243.53 (talk) 00:23, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: thats what im saying! if anything Tucson should be called Valley of the Sun as it is completely surrounded by mountains and nestled in a actual valley. Phoenix is just a vast flat desert that has mountains to the far north east of it. Valley? pfft.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.99.179.200 (talk) 08:59, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

message: We need some wording in this article delineating what areas are considered East Valley and what are considered West Valley. Also should Salt River Valley be merged into this article? -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 15:47, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
