During the first year of the pandemic, more than 56,000 people moved to Utah, according to new census data.
From July 1, 2020, to the same date in 2021, Utah’s total population grew by an estimated 56,291, which placed it seventh in total population growth during that time and second in percentage population change.a decadelong upward trend in the Beehive State Overall, the U.S. saw a population increase of 392,665 for the year, bringing the total to 331,893,745 in 2021, according to the data released Thursday.In the Beehive State, nearly 40% of its population growth from mid-2020 to 2021 can be attributed to one county.
At least part of the reason for Utah County’s natural increase is a younger-than-average population, along with a culture where people place a high priority on families, Harris said.While more than 73% of U.S. counties experienced a natural decrease in population in 2021 — meaning they saw more deaths than births — virtually all of Utah’s counties experienced a bump in population during the pandemic year, with only Carbon, Grand and San Juan counties seeing decline.
As opposed to its southern counterpart, Salt Lake County was one of the slower-growing areas in the state, but Harris said that fits with larger national trends.
