Trenton town, UT in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Trenton town is a very small community in Utah, with 534 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #222 of 334 ranked by population — larger than 33% of them. The median age here is 37.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.
Households in Trenton town earn a median of $83,000 a year, 5.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 10% below 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 6.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Trenton town is valued at $316,700, 4.4% above the national figure and 28% below the $437,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $650 a month, 53.8% below the national figure, or roughly $7,800 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 9.4% 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 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 76.3% 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.
