Show Population by Health District Most of Utah's population growth has been in the counties along the Wasatch Front. Some of the rural counties have lost population, which could be potentially damaging to small towns in terms of economics and health. With the majority of the population living in urban settings, the rural and frontier populations (see p. 53 for definitions) could face challenges in providing access to health care. Table 5.
