Millennials make up a proportion of Utah’s population that is second highest in the nation, and Utah is well ahead of the national curve of millennials becoming the largest living generation this year, according to a Utah Foundation report released Thursday.
In other areas, Utah is mirroring national trends where millennials — ages 18 to 34 — are becoming increasingly diverse, having fewer children and identifying as religiously unaffiliated more frequently than previous generations, according to the report.
The first of a four-part series of reports by the Utah Foundation was published the same day as the public release of U.S. Census Bureau estimates, which show Utah’s population growth rate continues to outpace the nation.
