Arizona and New Mexico were once grouped together in a single territory, but since their split they have grown in two totally different directions. Their growth (or lack thereof) has raised several questions. What's driving the influx of retirees to Arizona and transforming it into a snowbird haven? Why is New Mexico grappling with negative net migration, and losing college-educated individuals to neighboring states? How are political shifts altering the dynamics of the Intermountain West? Discover the impact of domestic migration, uncover the concept of "boomburgs," and understand why Californians are flocking to Arizona, while Texans largely ignore New Mexico. Join us to unravel the economic, political, and demographic puzzles of these two southwestern states and their intertwined history.
