New Growth Numbers Out

According to data recently released by the U.S. Census Bureau, the Logan, Utah Metropolitan Area was the 9th fasting growing area in the United States between July 2007 and July 2008 with a growth rate of 3.2% during that period. 4 out of the 10 fasting growing areas were in Utah and Southern Idaho. Most of the growth is attributed to the high birth-rate, low unemployment, and good housing increases drawing outsiders into these areas.
