For a relatively small metro (around 18,000 residents), only four cities in the country attracted more growth during the pandemic than Heber.

Heber ranked fifth in a study cited by New York Times which mapped out where people have been moving during the pandemic. This includes people from both out-of-state and those moving from Park City, and Utah/Salt Lake Counties.
