SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — New Census figures show Utah’s African-American community grew the most of any minority group last year, although it still accounts for less than 1% of the state's total population.
The statistics released Wednesday show the Black population in the state increased by 38,000, or 4.7%.
Just over 22% of Utah residents are ethnic or racial minorities, most of them Hispanic, the new Census data show.
