Housing Data Updates

The Housing Data Explorer has been updated with data through Q2 2023. This interactive dashboard summarizes trends on housing and affordability in the region. It includes data on sales, apartment rent, evictions, cost-burdened households, and more. Recently we have given a number of presentations on economic and housing trends at the October Management Committee and Regional Council meetings.

Employer Database

The 2022 MAG Employer Database is now available. The database includes information about all employers across the MAG region with five or more employees. It also includes information on industry clusters, key industries, and foreign-owned businesses. The data can be downloaded from the MAG Open Data Portal. The data will be added to the Arizona Employer Viewer soon. Likewise, the Business, Jobs, and Industry dashboard, infographics, and commute shed reports will be updated with the latest employer data in the coming weeks. For more detail, contact maps@azmag.gov.

Cooler temperatures are finally here! Use the MAG Recreation viewer to explore outdoor recreation opportunities in our region. Easily filter public parks and open space to find the amenities you are interested in. From pickleball, playgrounds to dog parks, the MAG Recreation viewer has you covered. New in town? Explore the region's many hiking trails, preserves and attractions. Data is refreshed yearly and has recently been updated.
