West Bountiful city, UT in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
West Bountiful city is a mid-size town in Utah, with 5,920 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #90 of 334 ranked by population — larger than 73% of them. The median age here is 38 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 West Bountiful city earn a median of $127,344 a year, 62.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 39% 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 10% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in West Bountiful city is valued at $530,500, 74.9% above the national figure and 21% above the $437,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,632 a month, 16.1% above the national figure, or roughly $19,584 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.4% 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 4.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 83.4% 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.
