City and metro context
Where records in Arizona come from
Most records published in Arizona come from its largest metro areas, listed below. That matters for a namesake: a match found in one of them is not the person you are looking at here unless the fields around the name agree.
- Phoenix4.94M · 68% of the state
- Tucson1.05M · 14.4% of the state
- Prescott Valley242K · 3.3% of the state
- Lake Havasu City217K · 3% of the state
- Yuma208K · 2.9% of the state
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.

Narrowing a common name in Tempe, AZ
Add the neighbourhood, not just the city
