A Shared Vision for Arizona's Future
We each see Arizona from where we stand. Together, our experiences help us better understand the state we share — and the future we can build.
The voices of Arizonans are the foundation of The Arizona We Want. Through statewide listening, nonpartisan research, and community engagement, Center for the Future of Arizona has identified a shared vision grounded in what matters most to Arizonans and their highest aspirations for the future.
This vision is reflected in seven Shared Public Values that unite a broad majority of Arizonans around greater opportunity, sustained prosperity, and an unmatched quality of life for all.
CFA builds and shares trusted research and data, connects people around shared priorities, and works across communities to turn insight into action — helping move Arizona toward the stronger, brighter future Arizonans want.

Explore Arizona's Shared Priorities and Progress
Across a diverse and changing state, CFA's research has identified seven Shared Public Values that reflect broad agreement about the outcomes Arizonans want for Arizona.
These values have at least 70% support across geography, income, education, political affiliation, race, and ethnicity. They provide a foundation of common ground for building Arizona's future.
Understanding what Arizonans want is only part of the picture. We also need to understand how Arizona is doing today.
CFA's Arizona Progress Meters and other data tools track outcomes in areas that matter to Arizonans, helping communities, organizations, and leaders identify challenges, recognize opportunities, and make more informed decisions.
