City and metro context
The Phoenix metro area
The Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler, AZ metro area holds 4.94M people — 68% of Arizona. A name common here is usually common in the other metros too, so the report shows which one each record came from before anything is linked to one person.

Use the metro list as location context, not as proof of residence: a matching city still needs another independent anchor before records belong together.
Population figures are American Community Survey five-year estimates for the part of each metro area inside Arizona.
They describe the region, not a count of records or people held by Recordwell.
