MAG Population Estimates

The MAG Regional Council has adopted the July 1, 2023, population estimates for jurisdictions in the MAG region. These population estimates are created in conjunction with the State Demographer, and are updated every year. The estimates and methodology can be found here.

Employer Data Updates

Our data tools have been updated with the latest 2022 data from the Arizona COG/MPO Employer Database. The Business, Jobs, and Industry Explorer is an interactive dashboard that provides an overview of employers, jobs, and business locations, as well as data by industry clusters, key industries, and foreign-owned businesses. The Business, Jobs, and Industry Highlights are a series of infographic PDF reports with key highlights in employer data by county or MPO/COG.

Bikeways

MAG, in coordination with its member agencies, maintains a regional dataset of locally designated bicycle facilities. The MAG Bikeways viewer, updated annually, is the interactive version of the dataset and also includes bicycle shops, bus and light rail stops, regional bike routes, and photo points highlighting bicycle infrastructure throughout the region. An updated printed Bikeways map is scheduled for spring 2025.
