Utah County has experienced the most significant population increase in Utah over the past year, adding 21,853 new residents. This growth represents about 43% of the state's total population increase. Saratoga Springs, a city in Utah County experiencing rapid growth, is addressing the influx by focusing on master planning, community partnerships, and data-driven decision-making. The city is also collaborating with UDOT to improve traffic flow. Tooele County reported the fastest population growth overall. The study found that a majority of Utah's population growth is attributed to new residents moving to the state, with natural increases (births minus deaths) contributing to a smaller percentage.
Utah County has seen the biggest population increase in the state over one year, according to the Kem C Gardner Policy Institute.
In Saratoga Springs, a place where a new city hall is being built, a spokesman said they are handling the growth in three tiers. She said the city is working with UDOT to improve traffic as Saratoga Springs is a commuter community.“We have data that the police department, the fire department have been able to put together and say, ‘as the city grows by this many people, we need another officer, or we need another inspector,’” Harrison said.
