According to census records – the total Polynesian percentage in Utah is less than 2%. However, that only includes those who are 100% Polynesian. The total number of Polynesians living in Utah is less than African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, and American Indians. The total percentage of those with Poly blood is probably about 3%. This is probably the highest Polynesian percentage of any state outside of Hawaii. I have known many Tongans in every neighborhood where I have lived since I was an adult. They are good people.
So, when you look at percentages, it’s amazing how they dominate football in this state.
A side note, Utah has a Hispanic population of about 15% and a white population of 78%. I looked at Michigan out of curiosity and your population is over 80% white. Your Polynesian population is .01%.
