Midvale city, UT in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Midvale city is a small city in Utah, with 35,736 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #28 of 334 ranked by population — larger than 91% of them. The median age here is 32.6 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 Midvale city earn a median of $73,058 a year, 7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 20% 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 10.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Midvale city is valued at $408,400, 34.6% above the national figure and 7% below the $437,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,480 a month, 5.3% above the national figure, or roughly $17,760 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.3% 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 5.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 43.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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.
