The U.S. Census Bureau just released its 2014 population estimates by city. You can use the following visualization to download population counts for each county.
- Ephraim took top honors as not only the fastest growing city in central Utah, but for adding the largest number of residents (2010-2014).
- Seven of the ten fastest growing central Utah cities are located in Sanpete County (2010-2014); the remaining three fast-growing cities/towns are situated in Millard County. The same pattern holds true for numeric growth.
- Richfield maintained the largest population total in central Utah during 2014, followed in order by Ephraim, Delta, Manti, Mount Pleasant and Gunnison.
- Population estimates indicate that all incorporated cities/towns in Wayne and Piute counties lost residents between 2010 and 2014.
- In contrast, all cities and townships in Sanpete County showed expanding populations over the past four years.
- In Millard and Sevier counties, some cities added population while others lost population.
