      Not all that relevant. AZ has seen a steady growth in population for decades. Heat deaths are up 2.5x since 2016 (and even more if you look at 2015). The state population hasn’t changed nearly that fast. It’s about doubled since I lived there in the early 2000s. Meanwhile, heat deaths are up about 10x since then.

    This would be more informative if it was graphed as a percentage of population as arizona’s pop has increased quite a bit in recent years. Lots of thise out of state folks are probably under-prepared for the heat.
