Hurricane city, UT in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Hurricane city is a mid-size town in Utah, with 21,677 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #43 of 334 ranked by population — larger than 87% of them. The median age here is 41.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Hurricane city earn a median of $67,424 a year, 14.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 27% 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 11% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hurricane city is valued at $411,400, 35.6% above the national figure and 6% below the $437,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,235 a month, 12.2% below the national figure, or roughly $14,820 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22% 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 6.1×, 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. 71.9% 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.

Home values sit at 6.1× 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.

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.
