Sandy, UT population, income and ZIP codes

Sandy city is a small city in Utah, with 94,723 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #7 of 334 ranked by population — larger than 98% of them. The median age here is 36.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.

Households in Sandy city earn a median of $111,242 a year, 41.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 21% above the $91,818 median for the 170 Utah cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 5.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Sandy city is valued at $562,500, 85.4% above the national figure and 29% above the $437,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,728 a month, 22.9% above the national figure, or roughly $20,736 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.6% 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 5.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 75.9% 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.

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.
