Minority Population Change in Salt Lake County From 2000 to 2010
Minority Population Change in Salt Lake County from 2000 to 2010 Salt Lake County is one of the fasters growing County in the State of Utah.In 2000 the total population was 898,387. By 2010 the total population rose to 1,029,655. Residential populations across large areas of adjoining census tracts are dominated by one or another of the city’s foremost racial/ ethnic groups with somewhat little racial/ethnic diversity. This is mainly factual for Latinos, Asians, whites and somewhat less so for American Indian and Alaska native (AIAN) and Blacks. From 2000 to 2010 the Salt Lake County has seen a large increase of Latinos, Asians and Blacks residents in the city’s well-known neighborhoods.
