Around 4,538 people live in Phoenix, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
The zone identifier America/Los_Angeles is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Los_Angeles keeps pointing at Los Angeles time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
