Funny that you discern between out of staters and who else. This is the United States of America. I think a lot of our expansion is due to us having large famalies who want to stay in the area.

Large families? I see fewer couples having 10+ kids nowadays, but I do see that the majority of the out of staters in Utah tend to be from California, who sell their tiny crappy houses, and out of the home sales, they become rich, and they move up here and buy a huge house for less than half of what their former house costs.
I just sold my home to a young Californian couple from sacramento, they told me they sold a tiny two bedroom two bathroom house for $600,000! They bought my four bedroom 2 bathroom house for only $180,000.
Alot of people have remarked to me they like the idea of selling their California home and being rich off the deal and getting a bigger house. So the exodus from California remains strong, therefore more houses and construction are at a all-time high.
I can remember when I was a young boy in 1971, my parents drove up to Utah to drop off my sister at BYU for the winter semester, and it was night-time on I-15, I saw very few lights between st. george and Provo, and then a few lights between Provo to Salt Lake City. Now you see lights practically everywhere along I-15!
