COVID-19 has disrupted almost every facet of American life, but the pandemic’s economic impact has been especially challenging for some of Arizona’s renters.

Prior to COVID-19, approximately one in seven Arizonans lived in poverty, which is defined as earning less than $13,000 a year for a single adult and less than $22,000 a year for a three-person family.

To coincide with the 40th Anniversary of Arizona’s Groundwater Management Act, the ASU Kyl Center for Water Policy today launched an innovative, online map and water data hub to help our state’s communities plan for a more resilient water future.

Morrison Institute and the Arizona Republic released a new poll that looks at how Arizonans perceive a variety of aspects of the coronavirus pandemic. Arizona Horizon's Ted Simons speaks with Andrea Whitsett, Director of ASU's Morrison Institute about the findings.
