Syracuse, UT population, income and ZIP codes

Syracuse city is a small city in Utah, with 34,009 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #31 of 334 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 28.7 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 Syracuse city earn a median of $132,459 a year, 68.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 44% 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 4.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Syracuse city is valued at $531,600, 75.2% above the national figure and 22% above the $437,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,006 a month, 42.7% above the national figure, or roughly $24,072 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.2% 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. 91.6% 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.

A median age of 28.7 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.
