Robert F. Smith Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Utah is the fastest growing state in the past decade: https://www.sltrib.com/news/politics/2019/12/30/utah-is-nations-fastest/: In the decade from 2010 to 2019, the State of “Utah expanded by 456,377 people, up 16.5%.” Quote “Wasatch County grew by 30.7%; Morgan by 28.7%; Tooele by 21.8%; and Juab by 21.6%. "Southwest Utah also saw some large growth by percentage, including 30.7% in Washington and 21.6% in Iron.” “Washington County also led all counties for its growth rate in 2019: 5.56%, as it added 9,508 people.” https://www.sltrib.com/news/politics/2019/12/09/utah-saw-huge-population/ . Quote New estimates released Thursday by the Census Bureau show that Utah’s Hispanic population grew by 25.6% between 2010 and 2018. That’s more than twice as fast as the 10.8% growth in Utah’s non-Hispanic white population. But other minorities grew even faster. The Asian population grew by 48.5%; people who are “two or more races” grew 42.5%; blacks by 37.9%; and Pacific Islanders grew by 27.5%. American Indians had a slower 9.9% increase. With that, 22% of all Utahns now are minorities — one of every five. But among children under 18, that number is 26.5%. https://www.sltrib.com/news/politics/2019/06/20/census-utahs-latino/ . 2 Link to comment
InCognitus Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) This site shows all the states, although I don't know how current it is for 2019 data. But I like that it lets you sort by column, and it has a column for 2019 growth and growth since 2010: http://worldpopulationreview.com/states/fastest-growing-states/ I wanted to see how Utah compared to other states.

JamesBYoung Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Utah is more diverse, yes, but still compared to the rest of the country, Utahns LDS and non-LDS are still very different. Link to comment

JamesBYoung Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Thank you, Calm, for correcting me: I meant 'very different from the other states.' Link to comment

JamesBYoung Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) Nah, unimportant that. I am talking about what I think based on more than 50 years of interaction with Utahns while I was living elsewhere while popping in and out of the state several times a month, so CFR is impossible..
