ZIP code 84657

ZIP 84657 is a very small community in Sevier County, Utah, with 596 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #204 of 299 ranked by population — larger than 31% of them. The median age here is 26.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 ZIP 84657 earn a median of $78,393 a year, essentially level with the national figure of $78,538. 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 14.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 84657 is valued at $274,200, 9.6% below the national figure, 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. 84.4% 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.

A median age of 26.8 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. With 596 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare ZIP 84657 against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for ZIP 84657 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.

ZIP 84657 is tabulated inside Sevier County, Utah, one of 12 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 299 across Utah. Fewer than 2,500 people are counted here, so the ZIP behaves like a village delivery route rather than a neighbourhood. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 84657 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 84657 reports a median household income of $78,393, 3% above the $76,250 county median, and close to the $78,550 typical UT ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $274,200, close to the county figure and 24% below the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at not published a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

Utah charges 4.85% statewide, and local governments overlapping 84657 may add county, city or special-district levies on top. We publish the state floor for this ZIP rather than guessing a combined figure, because ZIP boundaries and taxing-district boundaries were drawn for different purposes and do not line up.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 84657 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
