Sunset city, UT in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Sunset city is a mid-size town in Utah, with 5,567 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #94 of 334 ranked by population — larger than 72% of them. The median age here is 30.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Sunset city earn a median of $74,250 a year, 5.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 19% 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 11.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Sunset city is valued at $296,900, 2.1% below the national figure and 32% below the $437,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,166 a month, 17.1% below the national figure, or roughly $13,992 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.8% 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. 66.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
