Arizona is 5th most desirable state

Arizona is gaining in popularity, according to Harris Interactive. Worries about the heat, housing debacle and immigration may be overblown as U.S. residents picked the Grand Canyon State as the fifth most desirable place to live, thanks in part to strong support from the baby boomer crowd. That’s up from No. 6 in 2009, and the highest ranking since 2000, when Arizona was fourth — although it was No. 2 back in 1997. Pollsters asked: “If you could live in any state in the country, except the state you live in now, what state would you choose to live in?” California was No. 1 for the seventh consecutive year. Rounding out the top 10 starting from No. 2 were: Hawaii, Florida, Colorado, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, New York and Washington.
