Utah Passes Nevada as the Fastest Growing State

Utah is the nation's fastest growing state, knocking Nevada from its usual top ranked spot.

Utah's population jumbed  by 2.5 percent from July 2007 to July 2008, according to new population estimates from the Census Bureau.  Arizona is the second-fastest growing state, followed by Texas, North Carolina and Colorado.

Nevada, last year's fastest-growing state, fell to eighth.   Nevada had been among the four fastest-growing states each of the last 23 years.

                        

Only two states — Michigan and Rhode Island — lost population from 2007 to 2008.

California remained the most populous state, followed by Texas, New York, Florida and Illinois.

Currently Utah has a population of about 2.5 million. 

Utah County is a county located in the U.S. state of Utah.  As of 2007 it was estimated to have a population of 483,702.  It was named for the Spanish name (Yuta) for the Ute Indians.  The county seat and largest city is Provo.  The center of population of Utah is located in Utah County, in the city of Lehi.

This is positive information for the homeowners and business owners in our state.  Hey, at least I am trying to find some positive information in this media depressed environment.
