Racial and Ethnic Makeup of Arizona

By Arizona Office of Economic Opportunity

On Friday, December 6, Ethnic Media Services partnered with Arizona One and Arizona Community Foundation to hold a briefing on the 2020 Census in Phoenix, Arizona. Specifically, the briefing focused on the high stakes for ethnic Arizonans and the youngest kids, historically the hardest to reach.

Jim Chang, Arizona State Demographer, collaborated with the Arizona Office of Economic Opportunity to prepare the report. It includes data on Arizona’s population by age and ethnicity over time, as well as a sample copy of the Census form.
