Oakley, UT population, income and ZIP codes

Oakley city is a small town in Utah, with 1,812 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #133 of 334 ranked by population — larger than 60% of them. The median age here is 32 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 Oakley city earn a median of $102,143 a year, 30.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 11% 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 6.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Oakley city is valued at $631,200, 108% above the national figure and 44% above the $437,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,425 a month, 72.5% above the national figure, or roughly $29,100 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 28.5% 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 6.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is out of reach on local earnings alone and the ownership market leans on outside income, equity or dual high earners. 90.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Home values sit at 6.2× median household income, far past the 3.9× national mark, so ownership costs here are set by something other than local wages — second homes, retirees with equity, or commuters earning elsewhere.

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.
