Coalville city, UT in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Coalville city is a small town in Utah, with 1,915 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #128 of 334 ranked by population — larger than 61% of them. The median age here is 27.5 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 Coalville city earn a median of $85,921 a year, 9.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 6% 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 8.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Coalville city is valued at $455,000, 50% above the national figure and 4% above the $437,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,301 a month, 7.5% below the national figure, or roughly $15,612 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.2% 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 5.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 64.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.
A median age of 27.5 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.
