The Census Bureau estimates that 23,588 people lived in North Salt Lake on July 1, 2025, up 2.5% since 2020, slower than Utah (+8.2%). The Census Bureau's yearly estimates start from its own April 2020 base for North Salt Lake, 23,018, which differs from the 2020 Census count of 21,907: the estimates follow the place as the estimates program defines it today (its present boundaries, and for a consolidated city-county the area the program assigns it), so the change since 2020 is measured from that base.

A ring marks an estimate whose coefficient of variation is over 40%. A change is called only when the gap between the two periods is larger than their combined 90% margin (the square root of the sum of the two squared margins), the Census Bureau's test.
