Rank 18 of 51 by domestic migration per 1,000

Utah

All three channels point the same way in Utah: arrivals from other states, arrivals from other countries, and births over deaths. Growth here does not depend on any single door.

Measured as counts rather than rates, the channel that moved the most people in Utah over 2021–2024 was births minus deaths. That is a statement about volume, not direction: a channel can be the largest by losing.

Counts of people. Bars share one scale across all 4 years and all three channels, so a short bar is a small number rather than a rescaled one.
