Small population: 1,694 residents. These figures come from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey 5-year estimates, which carry a wide margin of error for places under 20,000 people. Read each value as an approximate range, and treat year-over-year changes as indicative rather than exact. A small shift can reflect survey sampling, not a real change on the ground.

Median Income Comparison
Piute County$48,393
Utah$95,166
National$80,734
Piute County is $46,773 (49.1%) below the Utah median.
Cost-of-living adjustment uses the BEA all-items regional price parity for Utah, 98.9 against a national average of 100 (2024). BEA publishes regional price parity at state and metropolitan level only; there is no county figure, so the state index stands in for Piute County and the adjusted median is an approximation. Per capita and mean household income above are nominal and carry no adjustment.

Labor Force and Employed are ACS 5-Year survey estimates; the Unemployment Rate above comes from BLS LAUS, a separate monthly survey with its own methodology. The two won't reconcile by subtracting one from the other.
Key Takeaways
- Income gap: Households earn meaningfully less than the national median, which directly affects retail demand, housing absorption, and tax base.
- Below the state median: Median household income runs $46,773 (49.1%) under the Utah median, so statewide income averages overstate local household buying power.
- Talent gap: Bachelor's-or-higher attainment trails the national average by 16.1 pts, relevant for advanced-services attraction strategy.
- Aging population: Median age of 48 is materially above the U.S. norm; succession planning and senior-services demand are real factors.

Measured: 16% of renter households already pay 30% or more of income on rent, and 16% pay 50% or more.
Key Takeaways
- Stretched market: Home value to income ratio of 5.5x is well above the ~4.1x national average; attainable workforce housing may be a recruitment friction.
- High home ownership: 95.5% owner-occupied; rental supply may be tight for incoming workers.
- Elevated vacancy: 36.1% of housing units are vacant, above the Utah rate of 8.1%, and down from 44% in 2019.
- Mostly second homes: seasonal, recreational and occasional-use units are 85.2% of vacant units, so the headline rate is not available supply.
- Genuinely available supply: units listed for rent or for sale are 5.9% of the vacant stock, or 2.1% of all housing units against the 36.1% headline vacancy rate. Absorbable supply for an incoming employer is thin, and the gap between the two is the redevelopment and conversion opportunity.

Key Takeaways
- Succession risk is real: 24.7% of working-age residents are 55-64. Plan for retirements over the next decade and pair attraction strategy with talent retention.
- Low participation: 46.9% labor force participation against a labor force that grew 3.4% between 2019 and 2024, so workforce development programs may unlock additional supply.
- Talent pipeline: no college, university, or technical school is located in Piute County per the IPEDS institutional directory, so any training pipeline serving it runs through institutions outside the county.
