South Jordan, UT population, income and ZIP codes

South Jordan city is a small city in Utah, with 80,331 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #11 of 334 ranked by population — larger than 96% of them. The median age here is 35.8 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 South Jordan city earn a median of $126,400 a year, 60.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 38% 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 2.9% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in South Jordan city is valued at $614,800, 102.6% above the national figure and 41% above the $437,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,806 a month, 28.4% above the national figure, or roughly $21,672 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.1% 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 4.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 84.1% 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.

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.
