Koosharem, UT population, income and ZIP codes

Koosharem town is a very small community in Utah, with 294 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #278 of 334 ranked by population — larger than 16% of them. The median age here is 17.9 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 Koosharem town earn a median of $60,938 a year, 22.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 34% below the $91,818 median for the 170 Utah cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Koosharem town is valued at $254,200, 16.2% below the national figure and 42% below the $437,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $671 a month, 52.3% below the national figure, or roughly $8,052 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.2% 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 4.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 73.9% 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.

A median age of 17.9 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 294 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Koosharem 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.
