Summit County, UT Property Records & Statistics
Summit County is one of the most expensive housing markets in Utah. Median rent is $1,284, far above the state median of $864 and the national median of $840.25. Renter-occupied housing accounts for 17.28% of occupied homes, below the state's 18.15% and the national 21.81%, so most households in this resort-oriented county own their homes.
The median home value is $508,900, compared with $278,450 across Utah and $173,750 nationally, meaning a typical Summit County home is worth well over the state figure. Even so, the median property tax rate of 0.36% is lower than both the state rate of 0.52% and the national rate of 0.74%, which softens the ongoing cost of owning a high-value property.
Incomes are strong. Median household income is $111,250, compared with $71,129 in Utah and $65,108 nationally. The unemployment rate of 1.32% is also well under the state's 2.41% and the national 2.87%.
Taken together, the figures describe a high-income, low-unemployment county where homes and rents cost much more than elsewhere, offset partly by relatively light property tax rates.
