Layton, UT population, income and ZIP codes

Layton city is a small city in Utah, with 82,512 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #9 of 334 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 32.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.

Households in Layton city earn a median of $99,188 a year, 26.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 8% above the $91,818 median for the 170 Utah cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Layton city is valued at $437,400, 44.2% above the national figure and within a couple of points of the $437,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,455 a month, 3.5% above the national figure, or roughly $17,460 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.6% 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 4.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 71.6% 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.

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.
