On a slightly different subject, I thought this was interesting.

The Utah Foundation website has added the option for people to play around with the Congressional districts, which allows for people to try to equal them out:

http://www.utahfoundation.org/redistricting

What I found interesting with this is that it lists Salt Lake City as having a population of 218,441. This should be the 2020 number.

The reason I find this interesting is that in 2010 SLC had a recorded population of 186,440. Even the 2018 Census estimate was 200,591.

So, what doe people think is going to be the real number? Do you see it as growing around 20K from Heritage Utah or the 30K from the Utah Foundation or maybe somewhere in between.

I personally feel that it will be greater than 210K but probably less than 225K for 2020. I do think that if growth we have been seeing lately doesn't slow much, we may see SLC top 250K in 2030.
