How Arizona funds state services
The enacted FY2027 all-sources spending summary, audited statewide tax revenue, and spending by service area. Each section keeps its own period and accounting scope; spending authority, audited results, and local property taxes are separate.

FY2027 enacted all-sources spending summary
July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027
The Joint Legislative Budget Committee's reported FY2027 Total Spending — All Sources, including appropriated General and other funds, non-appropriated funds, and federal funds. The official chart is rounded to $0.1 million and excludes administrative adjustments and revertments.
Shares of the $22.7 billion in taxes reported as general revenue for Arizona's primary government in the latest published audited ACFR. The denominator excludes grants, charges for services, investment earnings, land-sale gains, miscellaneous revenue, and local-government tax collections.
Sales taxes$12.4B · 54.4%
Audited sales-tax general revenue across governmental and business-type activities.
Income taxes$6.4B · 28.1%
The ACFR's combined individual and corporate income-tax general-revenue line.
Motor vehicle and fuel taxes$2.6B · 11.6%
Audited State motor-vehicle and motor-fuel tax general revenue.
Other taxes$1.0B · 4.6%
The ACFR's combined Other taxes line; the government-wide statement does not split this amount into its individual levies.
Tobacco taxes$253.5M · 1.1%
Audited State tobacco-tax general revenue.
State property-tax revenue$44.2M · 0.2%
The ACFR's primary-government property-tax line. It does not represent the much larger property taxes levied by Arizona's local jurisdictions.

AHCCCS, Economic Security, and Child Safety combined.
Education$21.5B · 29.9%
K–12 Education and the public Universities combined.

Latest audited results
Fiscal year ended June 30, 2024
Latest published audited government-wide activity for Arizona's primary government. Revenue is total program and general revenue before endowment contributions and internal transfers; these accrual-accounting results are not the FY2027 spending authority.
FactVote used Arizona's enacted FY2027 Appropriations Report and preserved the official all-sources chart's $0.1 million precision, grouping every chart category exactly once. Audited tax-source shares and government-wide results come from the latest published ACFR, for FY2024; spending authority and audited accrual results are never mixed.
The $72.0 billion headline is the official all-sources chart total before administrative adjustments and revertments. The detailed report's after-adjustment grand total is $71,904,458,100, so the two scopes should not be mixed.
All-sources spending includes federal and non-appropriated funds as well as State appropriations; it is not a total of State tax dollars alone, and its published service categories are rounded to $0.1 million.
FY2024 is Arizona's latest published audited government-wide report. The newer annual financial report is cash-basis and therefore is not substituted for the ACFR in the audited panels.
Most Arizona property-tax revenue is levied by local jurisdictions and is outside the ACFR primary-government tax-source denominator.

FactVote averages the four quarterly, not-seasonally-adjusted FHFA all-transactions HPI observations for each year. It compares that series with BEA annual per-capita personal income distributed by FRED, then rebases both to 100 in 2016.
This is a pressure indicator, not a home-price-to-income ratio and not a measure of monthly mortgage affordability.
Both series are nominal; neither is adjusted for inflation.
Per-capita personal income includes earnings, property income, and transfers and is not median household income.

FactVote uses NAEP Data Service mean scale scores for all public-school students in Arizona. The series uses the total student group and the main reading and mathematics composite scales for Grade 4 and Grade 8.
NAEP is generally administered every two years; the 2021 administration was postponed, so the timeline moves from 2019 to 2022.
NAEP results are estimates from a sample. Statistical significance, not a visual gap alone, determines whether scores differ.
Each grade and subject has its own scale. Follow one line over time rather than comparing the numeric distance between grades or subjects.

The regional average was 75.2 cents per gallon higher, or about 18.5% above the U.S. average.
EIA does not publish a current Arizona statewide weekly gasoline-price series. FactVote therefore uses EIA's West Coast (PADD 5) Except California series as the smallest current EIA retail region that includes Arizona, displays the published dollars-per-gallon value, and calculates changes from the prior-week and nearest year-earlier weekly observations.
Keep in mind
This is a six-state regional average, not an Arizona statewide gasoline-price estimate, and it is excluded from state rankings.
The regional average combines Alaska, Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington and can mask substantial differences among those states, communities, and individual stations.
The nominal weekly price does not identify why prices changed or establish the effect of any tax, bill, executive action, fuel formulation, or market event.

FactVote uses EIA's annual utility-scale net generation series and groups sources into seven categories. The residential price is EIA's annual average revenue per kilowatthour and includes generation, transmission, distribution, taxes, and fees reflected in electric bills.
Generation is electricity produced inside Arizona, not electricity consumed there; interstate imports and exports are not represented.
The consistent utility-scale series excludes estimated generation from small-scale solar systems under 1 megawatt. The 'other' category is the residual of remaining reported energy sources.

Method and limitations
FactVote uses EIA's monthly West Coast (PADD 5) Except California Regular All Formulations Retail Gasoline Prices series. EIA calculates monthly averages as simple averages of the published weekly retail estimates; prices include taxes.
This is EIA's six-state West Coast excluding California region, not an Arizona statewide average; it combines Alaska, Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington.
The regional average masks differences among states, communities, fuel formulations, and individual stations.
Prices are nominal and not adjusted for inflation or seasonal patterns, and the latest weekly fact can differ from the monthly average.

How it was measured
CDC National Vital Statistics System death-certificate data.
Keep in mind
The total combines firearm deaths across intents, including suicide, homicide, legal intervention, and unintentional or undetermined injury.
It does not measure nonfatal injuries, firearm ownership, defensive uses, or policy effects.

How it was measured
Social Security Administration Master Beneficiary Record administrative data. FactVote groups the source's retirement and disability spouse columns together and its retirement, survivor, and disability child columns together so the five displayed groups reconcile exactly to the statewide total.
Keep in mind
The total includes retirement, survivor, disability, spouse, and child beneficiaries and should not be described as retirees alone.
The grouped categories describe benefit type, not benefit adequacy, private pensions, or retirement savings.
Immigration and border policy
Border enforcement, legal immigration, and pathways to citizenship.
Immigration

Residents who are foreign-born
2020–2024 estimate
Share of Arizona residents who were not U.S. citizens at birth, including naturalized citizens, lawful noncitizens, and people without lawful status.
View breakdowns and source
How it was measured
U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts, sourced from the American Community Survey 2020–2024 five-year estimate.
Keep in mind
Foreign-born is not a measure of unauthorized immigration or current border crossings.
The Census does not assign legal status in this measure.

State rank #1 is most populous — not a performance ranking
FactVote uses the Census Bureau's Vintage 2025 consistent state series. Population is the July 1 estimate. Change components describe the preceding annual estimates period, and the Census residual adjustment reconciles the components to the published population change.
Vintage estimates are revised as the Census Bureau incorporates newer records and methods.
Domestic and international migration are modeled demographic estimates, not direct counts of every move.
The small residual adjustment is included in the data table but not drawn as a separate bar.
Voting, democracy, and government accountability
Voting access, election administration, ethics, transparency, and corruption.
Democracy and accountability
78.49%
Registered-voter turnout
November 5, 2024 general election
Ballots cast in Arizona's 2024 general election divided by registered voters reported for that election.
FactVote divides 3,428,011 ballots cast by 4,367,593 registered voters for the 2024 general election and rounds to 78.49%. The certified 2026 primary comparison divides 1,181,331 ballots cast by 4,306,554 registered voters and rounds to 27.43%.
Keep in mind
Registered-voter turnout is not the same as turnout among all voting-age or voting-eligible residents.
Turnout does not by itself measure election access, administration quality, confidence, or the effect of a specific rule.
Abortion and reproductive rights
Access to abortion and reproductive healthcare.

Reported abortions among Arizona residents
2024
Reported abortions obtained in Arizona by women identified as Arizona residents.
View breakdowns and source
How it was measured
Arizona Department of Health Services compiles reports sent by providers within Arizona. The statewide total comes from Table 8 of the 2024 Advance Vital Statistics report by county of residence.
Keep in mind
The count excludes abortions obtained by Arizona residents outside Arizona because the state receives reports from providers within the state.
The statewide total includes 854 records with an unknown Arizona county of residence; administrative reporting and surveillance changes can affect comparisons over time.
Facts are shown for context only and do not affect candidate matching or rankings. Dates, definitions, limitations, and primary sources are included with each figure.
State trends
How Arizona is changing
Nine trend views cover population, work, housing, public safety, education, health coverage, longevity, gasoline prices, and energy without mixing unlike reporting periods. The gasoline view is explicitly a six-state regional proxy because EIA does not publish a current Arizona statewide series. Each chart now sits directly beneath its related fact section.
