Kanab city, UT in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Kanab city is a small town in Utah, with 4,950 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #97 of 334 ranked by population — larger than 71% of them. The median age here is 43.3 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 Kanab city earn a median of $80,040 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. 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 7.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Kanab city is valued at $378,600, 24.8% above the national figure and 13% below the $437,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,135 a month, 19.3% below the national figure, or roughly $13,620 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17% 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 4.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 77.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.

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.
