Draper city, UT in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Draper city is a small city in Utah, with 50,159 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #16 of 334 ranked by population — larger than 95% of them. The median age here is 33.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.
Households in Draper city earn a median of $130,680 a year, 66.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 42% 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 5.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Draper city is valued at $726,000, 139.3% above the national figure and 66% above the $437,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,812 a month, 28.9% above the national figure, or roughly $21,744 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.6% 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 5.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 71.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
