based on percent of growth between January 2000 and July 2006
for all counties that began the period with more than ten thousand inhabitants, according to recent U.S. Census Bureau
estimates.
Wasatch County which was established in 1862, had grown in

that marked the beginning of the 21st Century, the county
increased the number of residents by 33.1 percent

It is difficult to determine how the growth may have affected
the price of homes in the area but in 2000 the median cost for
a home within the 1,181 square mile jurisdiction of Wasatch
County was $185,300.
