During the 2015 to 2019 estimate period, the Wasatch Back region’s migration patterns mirrored the state for its total share of movers but featured a higher percentage of movers from different states and counties than the state overall. The majority of the Wasatch Back’s migrants entered either Wasatch County or Summit County. Wasatch County received 60% of the region’s in-state movers while Summit County received the highest share of migrants from both abroad and other states (49%).
