Spanish in Phoenix
About 460,000 Phoenix residents speak Spanish at home, nearly three in ten, and the metro has about 930,000 Spanish speakers (Census ACS 2024). The community is overwhelmingly Mexican American, 86 percent of Phoenix's Hispanic residents, so Mexican Spanish and Mexican civil documents are the everyday norm. Maryvale in west Phoenix, Tolleson, Guadalupe and Avondale have some of the highest shares of Spanish speakers in the Valley.
Immigration hearings for people in detention are held in Eloy and Florence in Pinal County, not downtown; the Phoenix Immigration Court on North Seventh Avenue hears most other cases from the Phoenix area. For legal work AMS books interpreters credentialed under Arizona's court program, at its highest tier where available.
Neighborhoods and nearby cities with large Spanish-speaking communities include Maryvale, South Phoenix, Tolleson, Guadalupe, Avondale and Glendale.
