Utah Demographics: The Beehive State's Multiracial Population and Declining Fertility Rates

Utah’s multiracial (two or more races) resident population added the most residents and was the fastest-growing racial or ethnic group regardless of Hispanic or Latino origin between 2010 and 2020. Over the same time period, Utah's fertility rate has declined from the highest  in the country, to the fourth highest.  This decline since mirrors a decadal decline in fertility in every U.S. region and state. Hear from Gardner Institute Director of Demographic Research Mallory Bateman and Senior Demographer Emily Harris as they break down these latest trends and what they mean for future planning.
