Growing Economy | Luxury Living | Pro Sports

Congressional Districts 1 and 6 include very varied climate vulnerability rankings, from Lowest Vulnerability Climate Risk areas such as Paradise Valley and Fountain Hills, Scottsdale; Camelback East, Phoenix and Civano, Tucson to Highest Vulnerability Risk areas.
