In many ways the history of SaltLake is the story of that effort: its initial success; its movement away from the original ideas in the face of intense political, economic, and social pressure from the outside; and its increasing, but never complete, assimilation into the mainstream of American life.
During its second generation, that was the city's most striking feature, just as earlier the degree of unity was most conspicuous; SaltLake became a battleground between those who were part of the new and embraced it and those who were part of the old and sought to hold on to that.
SaltLake correspondingly suffered, making clear its close relationship with the world around it and its vulnerability to the fluctuations of the national economy; and New Deal programs were correspondingly important in both city and state.
City council members tend to be local well-knowns elected under specific issues (school zoning, economic development, etc.) The metropolitan area's political demographics are unlike much of the rest of Utah and its cities and counties where mostly Republicans or conservative citizens dominate and are represented by politicians of similar persuasion.
The city is located in a large valley, the SaltLake Valley, separated by the Wasatch Mountains to the east and the Oquirrh Mountains to the west.
In the city the population is spread out with 23.6% under the age of 18, 15.2% from 18 to 24, 33.4% from 25 to 44, 16.7% from 45 to 64, and 11.0% who are 65 years of age or older.
