Santa Clara, UT population, income and ZIP codes

Santa Clara city is a mid-size town in Utah, with 7,891 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #80 of 334 ranked by population — larger than 76% of them. The median age here is 33.7 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 Santa Clara city earn a median of $93,083 a year, 18.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of the $91,818 median for the 170 Utah cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 4.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Santa Clara city is valued at $509,600, 68% above the national figure and 17% above the $437,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,912 a month, 36% above the national figure, or roughly $22,944 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.6% 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 5.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 79.2% 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.
