HOW MANY HOMES MARICOPA ADDED AND WHEN BY MONICA D. SPENCER
THERE IS NO QUESTION MARICOPA’S POPULATION AND FOOTPRINT HAVE SURGED IN RECENT YEARS. But the pace of that growth can be hard to grasp when it unfolds incrementally, one construction site at a time. To better quantify it, we analyzed residential permit approvals from the pandemic and post- pandemic years.
➔
The data shows distinct trends. Single-family home construction accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic before beginning to taper in late 2022. Apartment development technically began in mid-2020 but did not gain momentum until 2022. By 2024, Maricopa experienced its busiest year yet for residential construction, with more than 2,400 single- and multi-family units added.
