Amalga town, UT in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Amalga town is a very small community in Utah, with 486 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #231 of 334 ranked by population — larger than 30% of them. The median age here is 33.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.
Households in Amalga town earn a median of $98,438 a year, 25.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 7% above the $91,818 median for the 170 Utah cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 0.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Amalga town is valued at $401,600, 32.4% above the national figure and 8% below the $437,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,125 a month, 51.1% above the national figure, or roughly $25,500 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25.9% 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 4.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 75.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
