If more people are migrating\u00a0to Utah,\u00a0\u00a0this puts more pressure on us here around Park City, because it is a desirable\u00a0place to live.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it&#8217;s not the only variable to take into account. There are the number of births, which Utah is generally\u00a0good at (Park City less so) and people who migrate here from in-state. \u00a0Take all three and you have a good idea of growth pressure on our area.<\/p>\n<p>Each year, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.unitedvanlines.com\/about-united\/news\/movers-study-2015\">United Van Lines<\/a> publishes a migration study between states. This is helpful because while the government provides good\u00a0population given census data, other years are just estimates. The United Van Lines study also provides data on what demographics are moving, which is helpful. So, what does Utah migration look like in 2015, according to United Van Lines Data? In the graphics below, you&#8217;ll see that the moving company&#8217;s data shows people are leaving Utah.<\/p>\n<p>Below we show the United Van Lines map and the reasons its customers say they are leaving. If you are interested, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.unitedvanlines.com\/about-united\/news\/movers-study-2015\">click this link<\/a> and you can see how this has changed over the years. It&#8217;s pretty interesting to see the people moving in after the Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this is one small subset of data. So, that has to be factored in. It also does not account for birth\/deaths and in-state migration. However, it does provide some interesting information.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5285\" src=\"http:\/\/www.parkrag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/united-map.jpg\" alt=\"united-map\" width=\"777\" height=\"441\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5286\" src=\"http:\/\/www.parkrag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/united-reason.jpg\" alt=\"united-reason\" width=\"378\" height=\"361\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5287\" src=\"http:\/\/www.parkrag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/united-age.jpg\" alt=\"united-age\" width=\"379\" height=\"362\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5288\" src=\"http:\/\/www.parkrag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/united-income.jpg\" alt=\"united-income\" width=\"380\" height=\"363\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the\u00a0trends I try to follow is whether people are moving to Utah or whether they are leaving.\u00a0This is important because it helps&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":""},"categories":[77],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5281"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5281"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5281\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5281"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
