A Look into Utah’s
Economy and Crime Rate
Northstar Alarm
3707 Cypress Creek Parkway, Suite 410, Houston,
Texas, 77068
(877) 252-7420
Utah was once the most conservative and the least diverse state in the U.S. According
to USA Today, it is 98% white until the 1970s when the state started to welcome more
migrants, mostly Hispanics. The Beehive State’s African-American and Asian populations
are growing as well. This rise in the state’s population density is caused by its steady
economy.
The Economy
In 2015, Utah led the nation for job growth. Utah’s economy is booming. In fact, it’s the
strongest in the nation today. The 2016 Economic Report to the Governor reported that
the state’s economy continues to prosper.
The steady growth of jobs and the increasing population are not without negative
consequence. Records show that crime rate also increased with the increased in Utah’s
population.
The Crime Rate
The 2016 Utah Priorities Project considers crime as the No. 7 problem they have to
address. Utah Priorities Project further stated that “In 2014 (the most recent data
available) there were 6,346 violent crimes and 84,711 property crimes in Utah.”
Although the state’s crime rate is still one of the lowest in the country, the government
is already creating ways to lessen crimes.
Movoto, a real estate blog, published a ranking of the dangerous places in Utah based
on the number of property crimes and violent crimes (rapes, murders, aggravated
assaults, and robberies). The list includes Salt Lake City, South Salt Lake, Toole,
Ogden, Cedar City, Washington, Brigham City, Sandy, West Jordan, and Payson.

The economic growth of Utah seems unstoppable. Experts predict that population
density will continue to increase as well. To stop the crime rate from escalating with
this increase in population, authorities encourage Utah residents to be vigilant. Experts
recommend the installation of security cameras and other security devices in
residential and commercial establishments to reduce the crime rate.
