Parowan city, UT in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Parowan city is a small town in Utah, with 3,095 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #113 of 334 ranked by population — larger than 66% of them. The median age here is 38.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Parowan city earn a median of $49,934 a year, 36.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 46% below the $91,818 median for the 170 Utah cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 16.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Parowan city is valued at $299,800, 1.2% below the national figure and 31% below the $437,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $997 a month, 29.1% below the national figure, or roughly $11,964 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 63.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters.
