Blanding city, UT in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Blanding city is a small town in Utah, with 3,303 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #110 of 334 ranked by population — larger than 67% of them. The median age here is 30.4 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 Blanding city earn a median of $63,333 a year, 19.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 31% 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 16.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Blanding city is valued at $225,000, 25.8% below the national figure and 49% below the $437,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $869 a month, 38.2% below the national figure, or roughly $10,428 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.5% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 68% 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.

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.
