Magna metro township, UT in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Magna metro township is a small city in Utah, with 29,488 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #37 of 334 ranked by population — larger than 89% 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. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.
Households in Magna metro township earn a median of $87,516 a year, 11.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 5% 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 8.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Magna metro township is valued at $341,400, 12.5% above the national figure and 22% below the $437,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,623 a month, 15.4% above the national figure, or roughly $19,476 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.3% 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 3.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 79.7% 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.
