Examples of activities and services: Shopping areas, schools and universities, libraries, parks, lakes, rivers, places of worship, healthcare services, public transport, local nonprofit organizations, etc.

Your response: My community is made up of mostly families in middle-to high income range. Our area is very high-growth, with shopping, restaurants, and single-and-multi family housing going in constantly. We live in the desert outside of the city, and are very outdoorsy. Most families have multiple cars and do not use public transport.

Use these questions to think more about how you would describe your community...
  - What should politicians and/or map drawers know about your community?
  - What are the needs of your community?
  - Is there anything else you want to tell us about your community?

Examples of needs or concerns: Keep community in the same district or separate into multiple districts, shared policy concerns, need for a social service, relationship to other nearby communities, issues with current district lines

Your response: We need services for families, quality education options, and more services and shopping options as our area continues to grow. We do not have much in common with more rural areas around us such as Desert Hills, or Cave Creek. Anthem is a similar community. Other areas that are currently included in our legislative district such as Black Canyon City, Prescott, Prescott Valley and other areas farther from Phoenix have nothing in common with us.
