Benson, UT population, income and ZIP codes

Benson CDP is a small town in Utah, with 1,864 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #131 of 334 ranked by population — larger than 60% of them. The median age here is 33 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Benson CDP earn a median of $82,019 a year, 4.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 11% below the $91,818 median for the 170 Utah cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Benson CDP is valued at $281,400, 7.3% below the national figure and 36% below the $437,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $964 a month, 31.4% below the national figure, or roughly $11,568 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.1% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 72.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
