Center for the Future of Arizona

Executive Summary

The voices of Arizonans, and what they want, matter. In The Arizona We Want: The Decade Ahead, the Center for the Future of Arizona shares data and insights about what we learned from the 2020 Gallup Arizona Survey. The results show that, as Arizonans, we agree on much more than we disagree and that we want the same things, including a strong education system, quality affordable healthcare, sustainable practices that protect our quality of life and equity for all people.

Fielded in an unprecedented year during the late summer and early fall of 2020, in a time of reckoning about racial inequality and social justice, and amid a pandemic, the 2020 Gallup Arizona Survey results show that our strongly held beliefs — our shared public values — withstand time and changing circumstances. In this report, we share our findings about what matters most to Arizonans as they look ahead to the next 10 years, bring visibility to where we have work to do, and name the actions Arizonans agree are most needed to create a stronger and brighter future for Arizona.
