Oro Valley has approximately 48,855 residents (2024 Population Estimates, U.S. Census) and is expected to grow to roughly 55,850 people by 2040 (Arizona Office of Economic Opportunity). As a community, we strive to support a diverse range of ages, interests, and backgrounds by having a “complete community.”
A “complete community” offers opportunities for involvement, promotes healthy lifestyles, and encourages lifelong learning. Additionally, it includes safe neighborhoods with access to parks and other outdoor spaces, quality housing, and other desirable amenities.

Supporting a broad range of ages and diverse backgrounds
