I can't speak to what's going on in AZ, but here in Texas it's very different from 1984. My brother lives in Plano, fairly affluent neighborhood. When he bought his home in 1983 he was one of 2 Texans on the block, but his neighbors were very conservative .
Same neighborhood, today most of his newer neighbors are Democrats, one of which refers to the county courthouse as The Reichstag. The neighborhood is probably more desirable today than it was 30 years ago (unlike much of plano) but it's less Red.
In Sunnyvale we've seen some influx of Democrats but not enough to matter
