Utah becoming more diverse

Census findings: Utah's ethnic makeup increasingly diverse
- Blacks in Utah, while still a tiny fraction of the state, have almost doubled in the past eight years, the Census Bureau found. The black population grew by 8.8 percent in the year that ended July 1, while the state as a whole grew 2.6 percent.
- Utah's varied minority groups now account for nearly 18 percent of the population but 40 percent of last year's population growth.
- Of roughly 2.65 million Utahns last year, nearly 307,000 were Latino, according to the Census report. About 44,000 were black, including those who identify with more than one racial or ethnic group. Asians number nearly 70,000, and American Indians about 45,000. Pacific Islanders are the state's smallest minority group, at about 27,000.
