Snowbirds refer to people who live in colder climates during the summer months and migrate south in the winter. Most snowbirds are retired so they have a considerable amount of time on their hands to spend their money - great for the economy of Arizona (and Florida).

Snowbirds live in warm climates during the winter (Florida or AZ are most common, but I know some people who do TX) and further north during the summer. They add to the economy simply by being there spending money.

Snowbirds are people that go to warmer climates to stay for the winter. They spend their money there, thus adding to the economy. Arizona isn't the only state they go to.

Snowbirds are people that come to Arizona from other areas for the warm winters. They purchase homes for the winter or condos, spend their money in Arizona, recommend their winter home to others, etc....thus adding millions of dollars to Arizona's economy.

Snowbirds are retired people who migrate to warmer climates, like Arizona, from their main home which is usually where it snows a lot. When one gets older, it is more difficult to deal with colder weather. So when they come to Arizona, they bring their money to spend while living there and this boosts the state's economy.

snowbirds are people that migrate to AZ for the winter, usually staying 2-4 months...they are from parts of the country that snows and have hard winters.....Canadians too... i was in Casa grandee south of Phoenix, last winter, and there were RVs all over the place....every other auto had a Wisconsin or Minnesota plate base on what i saw in February, its a big boost in the economy....it was very interesting talking to the Minnesota snowbirds,remind me of the movie "Fargo"

people who move south for the winter.
I lived in florida for a couple of years and noticed the prices of everything would increase with the arrival of the snowbirds then go back down when they moved back north
