Fayette, UT population, income and ZIP codes

Fayette town is a very small community in Utah, with 388 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #250 of 334 ranked by population — larger than 25% of them. The median age here is 21.6 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 Fayette town earn a median of $67,917 a year, 13.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 26% 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 6.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Fayette town is valued at $234,400, 22.7% below the national figure and 46% below the $437,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $581 a month, 58.7% below the national figure, or roughly $6,972 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 10.3% 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 67.9% 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.

A median age of 21.6 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. With 388 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Fayette town against its county rather than against national figures.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
