The Census Bureau released its population data this week from the 2020 Census, with Pinal County showing a total population of 425,264, an increase of 49,494 from 2010, but significantly less than the 462,789 estimated in 2019.

Queen Creek and Marana, primarily located in Maricopa County and Pima County respectively, showed the largest percentage increases, while San Tan Valley remains the most populous area of the County, adding 18,573 residents for a population of 99,894. The City of Maricopa leapfrogged Casa Grande, increasing its population by a third over the past decade.

Saddlebrooke also grew by a third. Apache Junction, Gold Canyon, Florence, and Coolidge showed steady growth, while Eloy and Arizona City both lost population. Data for cities, towns and areas below 5,000 population (effectively those not shown in the table) has not yet been made available.
