I gave you enough credit to google "Salt Lake a City demographics", but here, let me help you.
From Wikipedia:
"The Rose Park and Glendale sections are predominantly Spanish-speaking with Hispanic and Latino Americans accounting for 60% of public school-children.[66] The Centro Civico Mexicano acts as a community gathering point for the Wasatch Front's estimated 300,000 Latinos,[67] Mexican President Vicente Fox began his U.S. tour in the city in 2006. Bosnian, Sudanese, Afghan, Bantu, and Burmese immigrants have settled in the city under government programs.[68][dead link] The large Pacific Islander population, mainly Samoan and Tongan, is also centered in the Rose Park, Glendale, and Poplar Grove sectors. Most of Salt Lake City's ethnic Pacific Islanders are members of the LDS Church[69] though various Samoan and Tongan-speaking congregations are situated throughout the Salt Lake area including Samoan Congregational, Tongan Wesleyan Methodist, and Roman Catholic. Just outside of Salt Lake City limits, newer immigrant communities include Nepalis, and refugees of Karen origin from Myanmar (formerly Burma)."
From the Tribune:
Utah's Latino population soared by 78 percent during the past decade —Â growing by nearly 157,000 people to 358,000 total. That is about twice the size of Salt Lake City, according to long-awaited 2010 census data released Thursday.
In fact, the head count , taken once every 10 years, indicates that three of every 10 new Utahns who arrived by birth or immigration during the decade were Latino — and four of every 10 were minorities.
Overall, Latinos now make up 13 percent of the state's population.
"That is changing the face of Utah, so that now, one of every five Utahns [19.6 percent] are minorities," said University of Utah research economist Pam Perlich. "One of every four Utah children are also minorities, so the difference is even greater among youth."
Archie Archuleta has watched how that has changed his Glendale neighborhood in west Salt Lake City, where he has lived for 50 years.
"It went from 90 percent white and LDS to about 50 percent in just the last 10 years," said Archuleta, who is president of the Utah Coalition of La Raza. "Schools on the west side have become almost [an] Anglo minority, with the biggest percentage of the minorities being Latino."
