Voter Perceptions of Growth and Growth Plans in Arizona
Statewide Sample of 500 Registered Voters
October 23, 2005
Overview of Research Findings
1. Opinions about the way Arizona is growing are evenly divided.
•

About one-half of those interviewed (55 percent) are satisfied; 43 percent are
dissatisfied with the way Arizona is developing.

•

Sixty-two percent are satisfied with the way the area in which they live is developing;
37 percent are not satisfied.

•

Forty-seven percent support voluntary guidelines for a single, statewide set of
principles to guide growth and development; 40 percent are opposed.

•

Forty percent favor a state law that would require local communities to follow a
uniform set of principles that would guide land use planning and zoning; 46 percent
are opposed.

•

Twenty-one percent of those who responded to an open-ended question asking what
they liked about the way their community was developing said they liked the fact that
it was vibrant and growing; 15 percent said they liked the fact that their community
was not growing.

2. Much like there is a cultural value that favors local control of public schools, Arizonans feel
growth and development should be handled at the local, not the state, level. Only 14 percent felt
the state should have the major responsibility for managing growth and development in the area
in which they live. Seventy-nine percent of those living in cities or towns feel control should be
vested in local, rather than state, government. Seventy-seven percent of those living in nonincorporated areas support county, rather than state, control of growth policies.
3. There is little evidence to indicate that people support either establishing boundaries where
development can occur or limiting the number of people living in a particular area.
4. When asked what elements of a growth plan they consider to be “crucial,” Arizonans opt first
for essentials. Fifty-five percent said an adequate supply of clean water was crucial; 53 percent
streets, roads and freeways; 46 percent providing adequate energy including alternative sources
of energy; 43 percent said maintaining forests for recreational purposes and 38 percent clean air.
Important but not crucial elements of a growth plan related more to quality-of-life issues.
Thirty-five percent want open spaces preserved; 32 percent want to make sure there is an
adequate number of public parks and that they are maintained; 32 percent also want to preserve
“mom and pop” operations whenever possible; public transportation, quality jobs, strong
neighborhoods and a diverse economy also were in the important-but-not-crucial category.
1

Areas that could be included in growth plans but are of a lower priority include maintaining local
identity and cultural heritage (22 percent crucial), assessment of impact fees (17 percent),
communities with diverse populations (15 percent), the need for new communities to finance
public buildings (15 percent) and limits to the number of people who can live in a community
(14 percent).
In response to an open-ended question regarding what they thought the single most important
thing their community’s growth plan should include, essentials comprised five of the first six
mentions including a transportation plan, adequate water supply, good schools, good public
safety and job creation.
5. When asked to rate the effectiveness of various indicators of growth in a community, most
people felt that a low crime rate, the percent of home ownership and the number of happy or
satisfied people living in a community were the best way to measure positive growth.
When asked an open-ended question as to what they thought was the best way to measure
whether or not a community was growing in a positive way, low crime rate, business and
commercial growth and happiness were the most frequently mentioned indicators.

Methodology
The information in this report is based on telephone interviews with 700 registered voters. One
random sample of 500 registered voters was selected from all registered voters living in
Arizona. This sample was proportionately stratified so that voters in each of Arizona’s 15
counties were included in the sample. An additional sample of 100 interviews with registered
voters living in Pima County was also interviewed. A third random sample of 100 registered
voters living in the more rural counties also was interviewed. The purpose of selecting the two
smaller samples was to create sub-samples of Pima County and rural voters that could be
compared with the opinions of voters in Maricopa County.
The combined samples allow generalizations to be made to registered voters in four areas:

The sampling error for each area listed above is calculated upon the proportion or percentage
giving a dichotomous response being .50 and assuming the 95 percent level of significance. The
interviews were conducted by professional interviewers using a CATI system during the period
October 17 – 20, 2005.
A comparison of statistics generated in the sample with known population parameters (age,
county of residence, length of residence, party registration) indicates the sample is a valid
microcosm of the population of all registered voters living statewide in Arizona.
The questions were constructed by the study directors, Dr. Bruce D. Merrill and Tara Blanc, in
consultation with Alan Maguire and Arizona Department of Commerce administrators.
Dr. Merrill is Professor of Mass Communication and Director of the Media Research Program
In the Walter Cronkite School at Arizona State University. Ms. Blanc is a doctoral student in
The School of Public Affairs at Arizona State University.
Dr. Merrill and Ms. Blanc conducted the survey as private consultants.
The tables included in the main body of the report show how the random sample of 500 voters
living statewide in Arizona answered each question. Tests of significance, either Chi Square or
T-Tests, were used to determine whether there were any statistically significant differences in
how voters in Maricopa County, Pima County or the rural counties answered the questions. Few
differences were found. The following table lists those differences that were found.

Table One
Statistically Significant Differences Found In Terms of How People Living in Maricopa County,
Pima County and the Rural Counties Answered the Survey Questions.
1. Pima County residents (47 percent) were less satisfied with how the communities they
lived in are developing compared to residents of Maricopa County (68 percent) or the
rural counties(59 percent).
2. Pima County residents are less likely (45 percent) than Maricopa county residents (58
percent) to support a single statewide set of principles to be used as a voluntary guide for
growth plans for all local communities in Arizona.
3. Pima County residents are less likely (38 percent) than Maricopa county residents (50
percent) to feel that local growth plans should include an adequate street and highway
plan.
4. Pima County residents (64 percent) were less likely to feel the availability of affordable
and workforce housing in a community is an excellent or good way to measure growth
compared to residents of Maricopa County (77 percent) or the rural counties (75 percent).
5. Pima County residents (26 percent) were less likely than Maricopa County voters (36
percent) to feel the number of people who report being happy or satisfied living in their
community is an excellent way to measure growth.
6. Rural voters are less supportive (36 percent) than Maricopa County (52 percent) or Pima
County residents (47 percent) to support a state law which would require local
communities to followa uniform set of guidelines when they create plans for land use
planning and zoning.
7. Rural voters are more likely (37 percent) than those living in Maricopa County 22
percent) or Pima County (25 percent) to see providing affordable or workforce housing
as crucial when developing local growth plans.
8. Rural voters are less likely (53 percent) than Maricopa county (68 percent) or Pima
county voters (62 percent) to feel a transportation plan is a really crucial or very
important part of future growth plans.
9. Rural voters are more likely (33 percent) than voters in Maricopa County (18 percent) or
Pima County (23 percent) to feel that preserving unique cultural and historical identify
should be a very crucial part of any growth plans adopted by local communities.
10. Rural residents are more likely (34 percent) than Maricopa County (23 percent) voters to
believe that the quality of life in a community is a really crucial component of future
growth plans.

11. Rural residents are less likely (63 percent) than Maricopa (80 percent) or Pima County
voters (74 percent) to see creating and maintaining public parks as crucial or very
important components of future grow plans.

Now, I'd like to ask you a few questions about your views on future planning for your local
community. Keep in mind that these questions are related to the governmental body in your area
that has the authority to control planning and zoning. If you live in a town or city, it is the town
or city government. If you live in an unincorporated area, it is the county government. So, in
thinking about the future plan for your local community, please tell me if you think each of the
following is really crucial, very important, important, not very important or not at all important.
If you don't have an opinion just let me know and I'll go on to the next one.
