City/Town
Level Population Projections in
Southwestern Utah
 FCAOG staff
has been involved in developing population projections for each of the
five counties and every city or town in our region of Utah.
Initially, Utah's Governor’s Office of Planning & Budget (GOPB)
prepared county population projections for every year up to 2050.
Our assignment and challenge was to create projections for each town or
city in each county that did not exceed the county total provided by
GOPB. To begin the process staff used formulas that GOPB has used
in the past to develop city projections, realizing that these figures
were only a beginning point for discussion. Staff then met with
working groups in each county with representation from each
community. The purpose of the meetings was to review the figures
and make changes where possible to reflect conditions that local
officials felt bear on projections.These meetings were very productive and identified factors, such as faster growth rates, annexation practices, average household size, geologic & topographic restraints, employment forecasts, etc that influenced and adjusted the figures we began with, in some cases. Some of those changes increased the projections and others were decreased while there were a few that did not change. The charts are presented in PDF format and require an Adobe Acrobat compatible reader to view/download. PLEASE CLICK ON THE HIGHLIGHTED
