Provo–Orem, United States
Provo, the larger of the twin Utah Valley cities of Provo and Orem, has one Regional-tier co-location cluster. It is not among the markets published for North America under the confirmed 2026-08-07 dataset. Brigham Young University anchors an unusually young, fast-growing technology economy sometimes described as the "Silicon Slopes" cluster.
Overview
Provo recorded a population of 115,162 at the 2020 census across 44.19 square miles, the fourth-largest city in Utah, situated 43 miles (69 km, a general Wikipedia geographic distance) south of Salt Lake City along the Wasatch Front between Orem to the north and Springville to the south. Brigham Young University is the dominant local employer, with roughly 35,000 students; the city also hosts the LDS Church's largest Missionary Training Center. Provo functions as a technology hub — Qualtrics and Nu Skin Enterprises are headquartered there alongside several billion-dollar startups — with retail anchored by Provo Towne Centre and The Shops at Riverwoods. Orem borders Provo directly to the north and is part of the same Provo-Orem-Lehi metropolitan area, though Wikipedia's Provo article treats it as a distinct city rather than a single combined entity.

Provo does not currently appear in the [[atlas-top-400-north-america|Top 400 Regional Markets — North America]] list — neither Provo nor Orem carries an entry in the confirmed build. This article is titled "Provo–Orem" reflecting the two cities' combined regional-market character, but the cluster count below describes Provo alone. This is not a data defect: the market is not among those published under the confirmed dataset. Provo has one Regional-tier co-location cluster. Cluster-level detail — the specific retail and civic anchors composing it — is pending the underlying GIS dataset and is not included in this stub. See Co-location Methodology for how markets qualify for the published set.
