West Jordan, UT population, income and ZIP codes

West Jordan city is a mid-size city in Utah, with 116,277 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #3 of 334 ranked by population — larger than 99% of them. The median age here is 33.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.

Households in West Jordan city earn a median of $103,960 a year, 32.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 13% 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 6.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in West Jordan city is valued at $454,700, 49.9% above the national figure and 4% above the $437,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,650 a month, 17.4% above the national figure, or roughly $19,800 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19% 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 4.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 77.5% 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
