The growth in the number of multiracial Utahns, on the other hand, is due largely to births, she said.

Of the 61,000 Utahns who are biracial or multiracial, more than half are under the age of 18, according to the census data.

Over the past six years, the Asian population in Utah has jumped by 34 percent, according to census information. The number of multiracial Utahns grew by 31 percent.

The non-Hispanic white population showed the slowest growth of 8 percent, while the Hispanic population grew by 17 percent.
