Cedar City Ranked Among Top Micropolitans in the Country
(Cedar City, UT) -- A national study has placed Cedar City among the top micropolitans in the country. A micropolitan is defined as an urban area with a population between ten- and 50-thousand people and outlying areas with close economic ties to those communities. The study was conducted by a think tank called Heartland Forward. Cedar City is ranked eighth for its economic growth over the last five years. Only one other community in Utah made the list -- Heber -- which ranked third.
