DEC. 20, 2016 — Utah’s population crossed the 3.0 million mark as it became the nation’s fastest-growing state over the last year. Its population increased 2.0 percent to 3.1 million from July 1, 2015, to July 1, 2016, according to U.S. Census Bureau national and state population estimates released today.
“States in the South and West continued to lead in population growth,” said Ben Bolender, Chief of the Population Estimates Branch. “In 2016, 37.9 percent of the nation’s population lived in the South and 23.7 percent lived in the West.”
Following Utah, Nevada (2.0 percent), Idaho (1.8 percent), Florida (1.8 percent) and Washington (1.8 percent) saw the largest percentage increases in population.
Is it being seeded with “refugees”?
That’s probably gonna suck if it’s mostly libtards fleeing fouled nests but be good if it’s freedom lovers headed to their greener pastures...
Almost none (1100 per year)
Utah? WTF?
You’d have to live in the desert with no water, surrounded by a flood of Illegals and hordes of Mormoms.
No thanks.
Incoming freedom lovers will soon find missionaries at their door once it is determined they don’t belong to a ward.
Perhaps aspiring polygamists.
Please...all LIBs, ferals and all illegals stay away. We here in UT are better without you. Really.
It isn’t like that...but stay away anyway.
That doesn’t happen here. Please stay away anyhow.
A company I worked for had it’s district HQ in SLC, which I had to visit on occasion. The gang and illegal problems in the south and southwest sides of town are well known.
It is an amazingly beautiful state (don’t live there, just visit on occasion) but it sounds like the folks there don’t want you to know that. :-)
Fastest growing in documented population.
Got religious bigotry much? Shut up bigot. I’m not Mormon but grew up with them all my life. You’re no better.
Or, is it being infiltrated by libs fleeing blue states because the blue states are now just third world countries? If so, will they also ruin Utah?
“Is it being seeded with “refugees”?”
Being brought there by the Mormon Church. The Mormons are as bad, if not worse that the Catholics in bringing in “illegals” from Mexico who have been converted to Mormonism.
Utah has beautiful scenery, very friendly people, great hiking, fantastic skiing. Just change the drinking laws.
SLC does have its “big city” LIB and gang infestation. Here in southern UT it is Mayberry.
This could be great news if it results in two events:
1)Getting rid of the traitor Ludmya “Mia” Love, and
2)Eradicating the cult of Mormonism.
“You’d have to live in the desert with no water”
Obviously, you’ve never been to Utah. That state is awash in water.
