La Verkin, UT population, income and ZIP codes

La Verkin city is a small town in Utah, with 4,429 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #100 of 334 ranked by population — larger than 70% of them. The median age here is 31.1 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 La Verkin city earn a median of $63,061 a year, 19.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 31% 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 25.4% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in La Verkin city is valued at $366,500, 20.8% above the national figure and 16% below the $437,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,316 a month, 6.4% below the national figure, or roughly $15,792 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25% 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 5.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 77.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

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.
