Kamas city, UT in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Kamas city is a small town in Utah, with 2,229 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #122 of 334 ranked by population — larger than 63% of them. The median age here is 26.2 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 Kamas city earn a median of $87,353 a year, 11.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 5% 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 3.9% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Kamas city is valued at $455,900, 50.3% above the national figure and 4% above the $437,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,315 a month, 6.5% below the national figure, or roughly $15,780 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.1% 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 5.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 83.5% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
A median age of 26.2 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.
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.
