WHATS WRONG WITH TUCSON?

For decades, Tucson has languished under incompetent government and has been
stagnant in some areas, while declining in others. When compared with the growth and
success of Phoenix, people are wondering why their city comes up short in comparison
with the bigger city in Arizona, and why growth isnt happening in Tucson compared to
other areas of Arizona. This document shows trends in various categories, such as
population growth, crime, taxes, and others.
POPULATION GROWTH
Tucson had 526,116 in population as of July 1, 2013 (Estimate from the US

Census Bureau,
http://factfinder.census.gov/faces/tableservices/jsf/pages/productview.xhtml?
src=bkmk) Tucson had a population of 488,108 in 2000
(http://censusviewer.com/city/AZ/Tucson), a growth of 7.8% in 13 years.
o During this same time, Phoenix has grown by 14.6%, almost double the
rate of Tucson.
(http://factfinder.census.gov/faces/tableservices/jsf/pages/productview.x
html?src=bkmk, 2000 population of 1,321,045;
http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/04/0455000.html, 2013
population of 1,513, 367)

GROWTH IN NUMBER OF PEOPLE ON DISABILITY AND WELFARE
While Tucson has only grown by 7.8% in 13 years, the growth of people ages 1864 on disability has grown from 8,859 in December 2000
(http://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/statcomps/ssi_sc/2000/az.pdf) to 12,363 in
December 2013
(http://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/statcomps/ssi_sc/2013/az.html), a 40%
increase, more than 5 TIMES the growth of population.
The proportion of people on SNAP benefits (food stamps, WIC, etc.) in Pima
County has grown by 198% from 2000 to 2013.

LAGGING ECONOMIC INDICATORS

According to Forbes magazine, Tucson is the WORST place to look for a job
among major metro areas for Summer 2015.
(http://www.forbes.com/pictures/gklg45fj/no-1-tucson-arizona/)
The poverty rate nationwide in 2013, the latest the Census Bureau has data, is
14.5% (http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/poverty/about/overview/) In Tucson,
the poverty rate is 25.2%, 74% higher than the national average. This is in
comparison to the Phoenix area, which has a 17.6% poverty rate, 30.2% lower
than Tucson.
(http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/phoenix/2014/09/19/phoenixamong-highest-poverty-rates-for-metro-areas-in-us/15851529/, 9/19/2014)
The median household income nationwide is $53,046.00 for 2013
(http://factfinder.census.gov/faces/tableservices/jsf/pages/productview.xhtml?
pid=ACS_13_5YR_DP03&src=pt). The median household income in Tucson for
2013 is $37,032.00, 30% lower than the national average.
Fitch Ratings, a nationally known company that assigns ratings for bonds issued
by corporations and governments, assigned a NEGATIVE outlook for the City of
Tucsons bonds and downgraded a series of ratings for bonds issued by the City of
Tucson due to economic conditions and increased government spending
(http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20150520006286/en/FitchDowngrades-Tucson-AZ-GOs-COPs-Outlook#.VWDEUflViko, 5/20/2015) :
o $20 million general obligation (GO) bonds, series 2012-C (2015) 'AA
o $36.6 million general obligation refunding bonds, series 2015 'AA-'
o $20.7 million certificates of participation (COPs), refunding series 2015
'A+'. In addition, Fitch downgrades the following ratings:
o $214.8 million GO bonds outstanding (pre-refunding) to 'AA-' from 'AA'
o $259.2 million COPs outstanding (pre-refunding) to 'A+' from 'AA-'
o $11 million Rio Nuevo Multipurpose Facilities District (MFD) COPs (City
of Tucson Convention Center Expansion Project), series 2009 to 'A' from
'A+'

Jobs in construction has gone down in Tucson from 28,800 in October 2006 to
only 15,000 in March 2015, a 47.9% drop.
(http://data.bls.gov/timeseries/SMU04460602000000001?data_tool=XGtable)
Jobs in manufacturing has gone down in Tucson from 28,500 in July 2006 to
22,700 in March 2015, a 16.8% drop.
Jobs in the information sector, such as computer programmers and similar
positions, has declined in Tucson from 7,600 in February 2006 to 4,200 in
March 2015, a 44.7% drop.
While the other side may talk about the unemployment dropping to 4.9% in
March 2015 from a high of 10.1% in January 2010, the number of the people in
the labor force in Tucson has declined from 489,213 in August 2009 to 469,004
in March 2015, a 20,209 drop.
(http://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LAUMT044606000000006?
data_tool=XGtable) If the same number of people were in the workforce as in
August 2009, the unemployment rate would be 9.2% right now. It is
likely that many of the people no longer in the workforce are on disability due to
discouragement in being able to find a decent job.
5
Earnings in Tucson as of May 2014 is 10% below the national average; with the
average person in Tucson making $20.45/hour, compared to the national average
of $22.71/hour. (http://www.bls.gov/regions/west/newsrelease/occupationalemploymentandwages_tucson.htm)
The social network WalletHub did a survery of the 150 largest metro areas
nationwide, and they found Tucson the 8th worst place to look for a job in
2015. (http://www.wildcat.arizona.edu/article/2015/01/lack-of-jobs-hurtstucsons-reputation)
CBS News finds Tucson to be the 5th poorest city in the nation. Tucson is
even poorer than Baltimore. (http://www.cbsnews.com/media/americas-11poorest-cities/8/, 2/18/2015;
http://www.ywcatucson.org/site/c.elLYJiOZKqLcG/b.9257737/k.5D1D/Women
_Out_Of_Poverty_Initiative.htm) 34.8% of people have an income under
$25,000.00/year
According to a Harvard University study, Pima County is worse than 95% of
counties in the United States when it comes to poor children being able to rise up
out of poverty.
