Without regard for economic and social background, a bulk of the district relies on the Federal government for housing and medical assistance. Its constituents range from impoverished Native People on several tribal reservations to affluent, predominantly out-of-state, retirees living in exclusive communities outside Tucson. The area of the 48th state is home to more Native Americans than any other district in the United States.
