Census: With income up and poverty down, Utah enjoys relative prosperity
“The Census Bureau’s new annual data snapshot of Utah shows the state enjoys relative prosperity — although its abundance is distributed unevenly — with incomes generally rising and poverty decreasing.
“Utah currently is a place of growth and change. New people are continuing to come. Economic prosperity is expanding. We’re not in a boom, but our growth seems to be sustainable,” says Pam Perlich, director of demographics at the University of Utah‘s Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute.
The prosperity is being noticed and is attracting newcomers, she adds.”
