Tropic town, UT in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Tropic town is a very small community in Utah, with 537 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #221 of 334 ranked by population — larger than 33% of them. The median age here is 42.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Tropic town earn a median of $64,375 a year, 18% below the national figure of $78,538 and 30% 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 1.9% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Tropic town is valued at $223,000, 26.5% below the national figure and 49% below the $437,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 84% 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.
With 537 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Tropic town against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld gross rent for Tropic town because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
