Joseph, UT population, income and ZIP codes

Joseph town is a very small community in Utah, with 546 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #219 of 334 ranked by population — larger than 34% of them. The median age here is 32.2 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 Joseph town earn a median of $80,000 a year, 1.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 13% below the $91,818 median for the 170 Utah cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 14.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Joseph town is valued at $242,400, 20.1% below the national figure and 45% below the $437,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,036 a month, 26.3% below the national figure, or roughly $12,432 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.5% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 85.9% 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. 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.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not. With 546 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Joseph town against its county rather than against national figures.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
