FILE - Matthew Clewett, 26, holds his daughter Nellie, while his wife Bethany looks on at their home Thursday, April 29, 2021, in Kaysville, Utah. Utah is one of two Western states known for rugged landscapes and wide-open spaces that are bucking the trend of sluggish U.S. population growth. The Clewett's want to have a large family like the ones they grew up in, but high housing costs could put a serious damper on that plan. The couple bid on at least 10 houses in northern Utah before they could close on a starter home for themselves and their infant daughter. (AP Photo/Rick Bowmer)
