By the numbers Polynesians in UtahThe number of Utahns who identify themselves as being of Polynesian descent, or who are of mixed race including Pacific Islander or native Hawaiian, grew rapidly over the 20 years between the 1990 and 2010 U.S. censuses. A contributing factor could be the average family size of Polyne-sian families — 4.86 people in 2010, which is about 37 percent larger than Utah families in general.
