A Utah County city is among the nation's fastest-growing large cities, while another is 1 of 3 municipalities across the country now considered a large city, according to new US Census Bureau population estimates.
Lehi, with an estimated population percentage growth of 5.6%, was the 14th fastest-growing large city — cities with 50,000 residents or more in 2021 — in the nation between July 2021 and July 2022, according to the agency. It's estimated that Lehi gained 4,456 residents during that time, reaching a population of a little more than 84,000 by mid-2022.
Eagle Mountain is one of three U.S. cities that surpassed 50,000 residents for the first time in 2022, joining the large city list moving forward. It would have been the second fastest-growing large city in the nation, but it did not have at least 50,000 residents in the bureau's 2021 estimate.
