According the 2000 census, the population of Salt Lake City proper was 181,743. As Utah’s exciting capital city, there’s always a lot happening in the vibrant and growing downtown area. Our unemployment rate is very low because of our continued economic and resident growth.

Like in many other U.S. cities during the 1960s, the Salt Lake area experienced a major transition from living and working downtown to doing the same thing in outlying, suburban areas. During those times, major projects were launched downtown that led to our continued growth and many more new projects. The result has been one of the highest growth rates in the country.

The price of Salt Lake City homes and other area real estate has grown much faster than homes and real estate in many other parts of the nation. This is due, in part, to the number of people who choose to relocate here for the outstanding lifestyle we enjoy. With its low per-capita crime rate, it’s a great place to raise a family. The year 2004 set records for new building permits, and the trend continues today. The Salt Lake area saw an increase of some 24 percent in the value of pre-authorized construction permits between 2004 and 2005.

Many factors have contributed to this impressive growth, but the key factor is simply that more people are coming and spurring the economy to greater heights. With this kind of growth, the Salt Lake City homes market will surely keep attracting investors and families from all over the country.
