Phoenix, Arizona is an incredibly interesting and diverse city. Not only is it the state capital, it is also one of the largest cities in the country. And the main institution of higher education, Arizona State University , is the largest school in the country, when considered with all of its campus. Meanwhile, Phoenix is different from all other major cities and urban centers in the country. One of the noticeable aspects is that it is one of the few cities that shows a significant drop in population during the summer. And while Phoenix enjoys a strong tourist population and there are larger numbers of vacationers in any of the luxury hotels Phoenix , they do not balance the population loss that occurs.

It’s important to keep in mind that Phoenix is located in the Sonora Desert and it gets hot there, very hot. And it stays hot for almost half of the year. There is a large percentage of the population that lives in Phoenix during the cooler half, which is typically November through April. And all of those people pack up and leave the city when it starts to get warm. This actually benefits the summer tourist population, who typically don’t have to deal with extremely large crowds, horrible traffic and other population oriented factors.
