ZIP code 84784

ZIP 84784 is a small town in Washington County, Utah, with 1,301 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #155 of 299 ranked by population — larger than 48% of them. The median age here is 26 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 84784 earn a median of $62,727 a year, 20.1% below the national figure of $78,538. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 28.6% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 84784 is valued at $385,900, 27.2% above the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,372 a month, 2.4% below the national figure, or roughly $16,464 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 6.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is out of reach on local earnings alone and the ownership market leans on outside income, equity or dual high earners. 55.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Home values sit at 6.2× median household income, far past the 3.9× national mark, so ownership costs here are set by something other than local wages — second homes, retirees with equity, or commuters earning elsewhere. A median age of 26 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.

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.

ZIP 84784 is tabulated inside Washington County, Utah, one of 20 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 84784 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 84784 reports a median household income of $62,727, 22% below the $80,245 county median, and 20% below the $78,550 typical UT ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $385,900, 17% below the county figure and 6% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $1,372 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 84784 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 84784 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.
