This was reported by Utah Foundation, the private research organization in their latest analysis of population migration patterns in Utah. According to the Foundation Founda-tion study, Iron County had a total population of 10,795 in 19(50 and 12,177 in 1970, or an Increase of 1,382 or 12.8',r during the decade. In this same period, there were 2,560 births and 794 deaths n Iron County or a natural increase of 1,766 persons Thus, there was a net out-migratlon of 384 individuals from Iron County during the 1960-1970 period. For the state as a whole I there was a net out-migration of nearly 11,000 from Utah during the 1960's. This reversed revers-ed the trend of the previous two decades (the 1910's and the 1950's) when there was a net in-migration into the state. According to the report, Utah's total population increased in-creased by 168,627 during the 1960's. The natural increase (excess of births over deaths) in Utah, however, amounted t0 179,604 in the period, Indicating Indi-cating that there was a net outflow of 10,958 persons from the state during the ten-year period. Twenty-five of Utah's twenty-nine counties reported a net out-migration between 1960 and 1970. The Foundation Founda-tion study notes that only Davis, Morgan, Utah and Washington Counties experienced experi-enced any net in-migration during the decade. Davis Countv had the largest influx PROMOTE BEEF.

This was equal to 24.5 of the I960 population outflow. The largest net population outflow occurred In Carbon County with a net out-migration of 7,238 individuals in the 1960-1970 decade. Daggatt County, however, reported the largest percentage decline with a net out-migration equal to 56.27r of its 1960 population. popula-tion. Completion of the Flaming Flam-ing Gorge Dam during this period was the major factor accounting to the large population pop-ulation outflow In Daggett County. ounidaJiQn (analysts report that there was a strong population pop-ulation movement away from the rural areas and also the central cities. Thera was a net out-migratlon of 24,772 from the nonmetropolitan areas of Utah and 44,905 from the central cities located within major metropolitan areas, Surburban areas within with-in metropolitan areas, on the other hand, reported n net Inflow In-flow of 58,719 persons during the decade. This movement to the suburbs sub-urbs was particularly strong in the Salt Lake City and Og-den Og-den areas, according to the study. There was a net out-migration out-migration of 41,209 persons from Salt Lake City proper between be-tween I960 and 1970. The suburban sub-urban portion of the Salt Lake Metropolitan Area, however, how-ever, showed a net Inflow of 53,474 persons. Similarly Og-. den City experienced a net out-migration of 12,578 individuals indiv-iduals while the suburban sections of tho Ocrden Mot. polltan Area had a net In-migration In-migration of 8,019 persons. The Provo- Orem area was an exception to this general population movement away from the central city to the suburbs. There waj a net in-migration in-migration of 6,735 persons Into In-to Provo and 2,147 person into in-to Orem during the 1960's. The territory within the Pro-vo-Orem Mertopoplitan Area but outside of these two central cen-tral cities experienced a net outflow of 2,774 individuals. Two factors accounting for this growth In Provo and Orem are the annexations which took place during the decade and the rapid expansion expan-sion at Brigham Young University. Uni-versity. Fall enrollment at Brigham Young University grew from slightly more than 10,000 In 1960 to approximately approximate-ly 23,000 in 1970. |
