Riverton city, UT in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Riverton city is a small city in Utah, with 44,944 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #20 of 334 ranked by population — larger than 94% of them. The median age here is 34.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Riverton city earn a median of $119,093 a year, 51.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 30% 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 3.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Riverton city is valued at $543,900, 79.3% above the national figure and 24% above the $437,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,826 a month, 29.9% above the national figure, or roughly $21,912 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.4% 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 4.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 87.2% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
