Alpine city, UT in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Alpine city is a mid-size town in Utah, with 10,272 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #64 of 334 ranked by population — larger than 81% of them. The median age here is 36.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Alpine city earn a median of $156,786 a year, 99.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 71% above the $91,818 median for the 170 Utah cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Alpine city is valued at $893,400, 194.5% above the national figure and 104% above the $437,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,786 a month, 98.2% above the national figure, or roughly $33,432 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.3% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 87.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
