Chapter mix

Phoenix and Tucson division filings
The source supports court-division filters for Phoenix and Tucson. They are reported as divisions, not counties; the two series do not represent the statewide total and should not be used as a population comparison.

- These are filing counts, not the number of unique people or households. The court includes case re-openings.
- The court updates the dashboard throughout the day and says historical totals may change as filing records settle.
- 2026 is incomplete. This page uses January–July for the year-over-year filing comparison and labels every other partial-period figure.
- Phoenix and Tucson are court-division filters in the source dashboard. They are not a county map, and they do not add up to the statewide total because the court also reports other offices.
- This compilation uses aggregate public counts only. It does not include case numbers, party names, addresses, or any other personal case data.
