About Scottsdale
Scottsdale is located in the Salt River Valley, and is considered a part of "The Valley of the Sun" bordering the city of Phoenix and the town of Paradise Valley located within Maricopa County. According to the 2010 Census, Scottsdale's population has risen to over 217,385 people. Scottsdale's year-round warm weather and sunshine and upscale restaurants and clubs account for its large tourism appeal. In fact, Scottsdale was voted the third city in the nation with the most AAA Five-Diamond resorts, only after New York and Las Vegas. While hospitality and tourism make up the bulk of the economic base, there are also several corporate headquarters that call Scottsdale home including: Scottsdale Healthcare, Vanguard, Motorola, Google, GoDaddy and Mayo Clinic.
Bankruptcy in Scottsdale
Although Scottsdale is known for its upscale housing and shopping, its residents have also felt the repercussions of the declining housing market and overwhelming debt. It is no secret that the southwestern states were the most affected and saw the most significant increase in bankruptcy filings around the nation. Arizona alone saw a 24 percent increase in flings since 2009!
When the housing market fell, financial security took a hit as well for many people who found themselves without jobs, increased debt, and homes worth less than they anticipate. In short, they had nowhere to turn. Bankruptcy, has become a popular method to get people out of payments from unsecured debt. Bankruptcy offers several different ways for people to get their finances back to a manageable place. From eliminating or reducing debt payments, to restructuring mortgage payments.
