SLC is really the only urban area in the state (although St George is exploding). We have two million folks in Utah, with 1.5 million of those in the 100 by 20 mile oval between Ogden and Provo, wedged between the Wasatch Front and the Lake. The rest of the state has small towns, but is essentially empty. As far as I know, we are the only state with only one major airport - which says a lot about our demographic distribution.
Wyoming is even less densely populated, has no income tax (but higher sales tax) and even more open land. But little in the way of great restaurants, cultural things like theater or much shopping variety.
Take your pick.
