More than 107,000 people moved to Arizona between July 1, 2016 and July 1 of this year.

That translates to a 1.6 percent increase, and ranks the state in the top 10 in both numeric and percentage increase over the past year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Here to talk about it is Tom Rex with the Center for Competitiveness and Prosperity Research at the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University.
