Last week, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that St. George had the most growth by percentage of any city in the country between July 2020 and July 2021. The city grew by 5.1% or by nearly 9,302 residents.
Jeremy Spencer left Yuma, Ariz., for St. George to open up a fitness gym partly because of the projected economic growth and changing demographics of the city of 95,000 people. Data trends, he says, indicate a growing fitness market for Washington County that is becoming younger and wealthier.
The housing market is growing and becoming expensive, too. Homes in Washington County have sold at a median sales price of $559,000 in 2021, according to the Utah Association of Realtors, above both Salt Lake County and Utah County . It is just now affordability that Ham worries about. As the region deals with persistent drought, water will be crucial for the city’s growth, she said.
Her group also opposes the Lake Powell pipeline, which would move water from the Colorado River to communities like St. George. Many politicians in the region have said the pipeline is needed for the area to keep growing. For gym owner Spencer, who has a doctoral degree in business, the change is an opportunity, one that was exciting enough to make him leave his job at Northern Arizona University-Yuma.
