Don’t let me (or David Bowie) hear you say life is taking you nowhere. Look at the Arizona sky, life’s begun, the nights are warm and the days are young, or young at heart at least.
Whether you’re a young adult or in your, ahem, Golden Years, Scottsdale is turning out to be the place to live (if it’s your jam, of course). It’s the best city for renters. It’s highly ranked for first time homebuyers and it’s a great place to start your career. Apparently it’s one of the best places to retire too.
Scottsdale ranked fourth in the nation in a new WalletHub study ranking the best and worst places to retire in the United States. It far out scored the other seven Phoenix-metro area cities that made the cut.
The financial site analyzed data for 182 cities in the United States. The list was made up of the top 150 most populous cities and at least two of the most populated cities per state. WalletHub determined “retirement-friendliness” by considering four factors: affordability, activities, quality of life and health care. It analyzed data from multiple sources including the U.S. Census Bureau, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, AARP, WalletHub’s own research to calculate each city’s score for the ranking.
Out of all of the cities ranked, Scottsdale came in second place (it was beat out by Pearl City in Hawaii) for having the highest percentage of its population over the age of 65. So don’t worry. You won’t be a trendsetter, forging ahead alone into a city filled with rambunctious youths starting their careers and buying their first homes.
And as difficult as it may be to believe given how hot our summers get, Scottsdale also ranked fourth overall for mild weather. Seems like Scottsdale is a great place to be no matter what stage of life you’re in.
Here’s how different cities in the Valley ranked:
8. Mesa
Ranked 117 out of 182 cities
7. Glendale
Ranked 100 out of 182
6. Gilbert
Ranked 94 out of 182
5. Peoria

With dangerously high temperatures in the metro Phoenix forecast this week, the National Weather Service issued an extreme heat warning.
The warning is set to run from 10 a.m. Tuesday to 8 p.m. Thursday.
Highs are expected to reach about 108 degrees during that time, about 5 degrees above normal for this time of year.
Well above normal temperatures with highs near 110°F and lows well into the 80s are expected over the next few days. Extreme Heat Warnings go into effect today and on Wednesday for the lower deserts and last through at least Thursday. #azwx #cawx pic.twitter.com/gEQMwKjWNM

Thursday will be the Valley’s 47th day under an extreme heat warning in 2026, one shy of the record of 48 from 2020.
The Phoenix area could see the return of monsoon thunderstorms later in the week and over the weekend as temperatures return to the normal range.
There’s at least a slight chance for rain in the forecast from Thursday night through Monday.
The best chance is Friday, which has a 40% probability.
Extreme heat warnings trigger daytime closures of hiking trails at Camelback Mountain, Piestewa Peak and South Mountain in Phoenix.
The Maricopa County Public Health Department has confirmed 136 heat-related deaths so far this year, about double the number at this time in 2025.
Health experts urge precautions during times of extreme heat, such as keeping hydrated, wearing light clothing and remaining indoors with air conditioning during the hottest times of the day.
The Maricopa County Heat Relief Network offers free, cool spaces and other resources to people who need relief from the heat from May to September.
Additionally, the Salvation Army opens 10 heat relief stations across the Valley during extreme heat warnings.

THOUSAND PALMS, Calif. (KESQ) - Kitten season is far from over in the Coachella Valley, and local animal rescues say they are seeing the effects of a significant increase in cats entering shelters this year.
Riverside County Department of Animal Services data shows cat intake from January through July 2026 increased by more than 46% compared to the same period last year, amounting to more than 2,500 additional cats.
The overwhelming majority of that increase came from some of the most vulnerable animals shelters handle. About 85% of the increase consisted of stray kittens younger than eight weeks old brought in by members of the public.
“We have a lot of kittens this year. It has been just a crazy kitten season for everybody,” said Maren Ledesma, rescue coordinator for the Adoption Alliance program through Animal Samaritans.
While people may associate kitten season with the spring and early summer, rescuers say Southern California's warmer climate can extend the breeding season much longer.
Deborah Felin-Magaldi, a volunteer and board member with Helen Sanders CatPAWS, said the largest influx typically begins in the spring and can continue through roughly November.
In Southern California's temperate climate, however, kitten births can occur during much of the year.
Cats can also begin reproducing surprisingly young.
Felin-Magaldi said female kittens can become pregnant at roughly four months old. With a gestation period of just over two months, a cat can potentially give birth when she is only about six months old.
That rapid reproductive cycle means one generation of kittens can quickly contribute to another without spay and neuter intervention.
Ledesma said Animal Samaritans is now working to strengthen its trap-neuter-return, or TNR, program while increasing access to spay and neuter services.
TNR programs allow community cats to be humanely trapped, sterilized and vaccinated before being returned to the area where they were found. The goal is to prevent additional litters while allowing existing community cat populations to decline over time.
Ledesma said Animal Samaritans had been working to catch up after limited veterinary staffing and appointment availability made it more difficult to conduct large numbers of spay and neuter procedures.
High-volume sterilization programs require veterinarians capable of performing dozens of procedures in a single day, she said.
Animal Samaritans now offers TNR services every Tuesday and also allows people to schedule appointments. The organization can also provide traps and information to residents who want to participate.
Ledesma said access to those services across the Coachella Valley has recently begun improving as multiple animal organizations expand their spay and neuter programs and work together.
Animal Samaritans also recently received a $100,000 grant that the organization says will help expand spay and neuter efforts in communities across the valley, including services for owned pets.
Rescuers also warn that finding kittens outside does not necessarily mean they have been abandoned.
Both Animal Samaritans and Helen Sanders CatPAWS recommend watching healthy kittens for a period of time before immediately removing them.
Their mother may simply be away looking for food and could return.
“If they are healthy and they seem like they are doing well, especially if they are a kitten, leave them where they are,” Ledesma said. “We do not want to take kittens from moms.”
Felin-Magaldi similarly recommends monitoring the kittens and looking for signs that a mother cat is still caring for them.
If the kittens appear clean, well-fed and relatively calm, that can be an indication their mother is nearby. Very young kittens require frequent feeding and specialized care if their mother does not return.
Once kittens are old enough to be weaned, rescuers say spaying and neutering both the mother and kittens becomes an important step in preventing another litter.
Preventing future births does not solve the immediate challenge for kittens already in shelters and rescues.
Animal Samaritans says it continues to need foster and adoptive homes as organizations work through the ongoing influx.
“We need foster homes. We need adoptive homes. We just need places for these animals to go,” Ledesma said.
Ledesma said fostering does not necessarily require a large home or a major long-term commitment. Even a spare bathroom can provide kittens with a quieter and more comfortable temporary space while also freeing up room at a shelter for another animal in need.
Animal Samaritans says it will continue expanding its spay and neuter efforts across the Coachella Valley as local organizations work to reduce the number of unwanted litters entering shelters in the future.

IMPERIAL COUNTY, Calif. (KYMA) - A major piece of legislation aimed at restructuring the Imperial County Air Pollution Control Board is officially on the governor's desk, but local county leaders are ramping up a final fight to stop it.
Senate Bill (SB) 675 has cleared the State Legislature, passing the Senate in a 30-to-10 vote and securing a 58-to-19 victory in the Assembly.
While the bill represents a major legislative milestone for its author, State Sen. Steve Padilla (D-District 18), local officials warn it carries an immense, unfunded financial burden that could hurt rural communities.
Introduced by State Sen. Padilla, SB 675 seeks to expand the current air pollution board from five county supervisors to an 11-member panel.
Proponents argue that the expansion is critical to increasing public transparency and bringing needed structural diversity to the district.
"It makes sure that there are people sitting on the board who actually have some professional credentials and background in the science of dealing with air pollution," Padilla said.
However, local county leaders push back on the premise, arguing that the existing five-supervisor panel is highly efficient and already inherently diverse.
"Right now, we have an office that runs smoothly," said Imperial County District 5 Supervisor John Hawk. "Why not leave it alone? Why expand this whole thing, give us more government, and then turn around and tax the heck out of us?"
Supervisor Hawk emphasized that local representation is already built into the current county framework.
"Every supervisor is different. We're all different. We all have different needs...We look at things very differently, but we come together. Each supervisor has a district, so we all look at the air quality within our districts," he said.
The conflict surrounding the bill has shifted heavily from a question of governance to one of local economics.
An independent third-party audit commissioned by Imperial County concluded that the changes mandated by Sacramento would force the local air district to secure a dramatic increase in resources.
According to the analysis, implementing SB 675 would require over $1 million in one-time technology upgrades, paired with nearly $5 million annually in ongoing staffing, legal, administrative, and expanded air monitoring costs.
"There was a third-party audit that looked at this and said yes, you do have financial, administrative, and technological staffing that needs to be in that office," Hawk said.
Padilla, however, has sharply dismissed the report’s multi-million dollar estimates.
"Some of the folks out there who have been arguing about cost have been throwing around big, wild, crazy numbers that have no basis in reality at all," Padilla countered.
Because the state legislation provides no funding mechanism to implement these changes, county officials persist that the mandate behaves like a hidden tax on local municipalities. If permit fees cannot cover the ongoing millions, the financial obligation may fall onto city budgets.
"Cities are already struggling, our county is struggling," Hawk warned. "These funds that we take from cities now will compete with fire, fire needs, with our public health, with our roads, and other things that we're already paying for. Why would we add more bureaucracy to something that is functioning well?"
Imperial County has formally requested that Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) veto the legislation, insisting that any structural air district reform must come with a realistic timeline and dedicated state funding.
The final decision now rests entirely with the governor, who has until the end of September to act. Under the California Constitution, the state operates under a "pocket signature" rule. If Governor Newsom chooses to do nothing and leaves the bill unsigned, it automatically becomes law without his signature once the deadline passes.
To prevent SB 675 from taking effect, Newsom must issue an explicit, formal veto.
"Let’s move forward with what we have. It's working," Hawk concluded. "We think Mr. Padilla should listen to our concerns and Governor Newsom should veto this legislation."
