Bear River City, UT population, income and ZIP codes

Bear River City city is a very small community in Utah, with 863 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #186 of 334 ranked by population — larger than 44% of them. The median age here is 37.1 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 Bear River City city earn a median of $87,917 a year, 11.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 4% below 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 5.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bear River City city is valued at $381,500, 25.7% above the national figure and 13% below the $437,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,579 a month, 12.3% above the national figure, or roughly $18,948 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.6% 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 4.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 85.2% 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.

With 863 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Bear River City city against its county rather than against national figures.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
