(carried on from edit summary discussion)

The statistics are referring to the MSA, yes. That's because there's no available statistics for what is generally accepted as the metro area.

Are *all* places in Maricopa and Pinal county part of the metro area? Definitely not. Sentinel, for example, is in Maricopa County, but is not in the metro area. Also, parts of Peoria are in Yavapai County, and Peoria is, by all accounts, part of the metro area.

[edit] Circle City population dubious

Circle City has over 10k people? Really? Look at it on a map. It's relatively small. It's a small retirement community. I'm pretty sure it has well under 10k, though I may be wrong. But please cite. --Node 06:38, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Per the US Census Bureau, the Population for Zip Code 85342 (Morristown, Arizona) is 1,402. Circle City is part of the Morristown Zip Code, and is not counted for population separately. It is, however, a separate Geographic Place. The population of Circle City cannot be no where near the 10,000 Plus as is suggested in the article. Cascadia 04:05, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd/Bell Road Section Incorrectly Worded

Bell Road becomes FLW Blvd at it's crossing with Scottsdale Road after diving south from it's normal alignment. Bell road continues it's normal alignment just north of this intersection. While it may be a source of confusion, this portion of the article needs to be rewritten to remove personal opinions, and if decided to be kept, written to demonstrate the actual geography of this area.

[edit] Tonopah Population

Per US Census Bureau figures, the Tonopah area (area code 85354) has the following information: "The Census 2000 population for Zip Code Tabulation Area 85354 is 2,966." Tonopah has been moved to the correct population category. Cascadia 18:05, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
