East Basin CDP, UT in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
East Basin CDP is a small town in Utah, with 3,613 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #107 of 334 ranked by population — larger than 68% of them. The median age here is 39.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 East Basin CDP earn a median of $187,361 a year, 138.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 104% 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 5.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in East Basin CDP is valued at $1,200,300, 295.6% above the national figure and 174% above the $437,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $3,501 a month, 149% above the national figure, or roughly $42,012 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.4% 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 6.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is out of reach on local earnings alone and the ownership market leans on outside income, equity or dual high earners. 92% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
Home values sit at 6.4× median household income, far past the 3.9× national mark, so ownership costs here are set by something other than local wages — second homes, retirees with equity, or commuters earning elsewhere.
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.
