Salina city, UT in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Salina city is a small town in Utah, with 2,521 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #120 of 334 ranked by population — larger than 64% of them. The median age here is 36.8 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 Salina city earn a median of $64,464 a year, 17.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 30% 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 14.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Salina city is valued at $257,200, 15.2% below the national figure and 41% below the $437,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $695 a month, 50.6% below the national figure, or roughly $8,340 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12.9% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 75% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
