Utah County, UT

Within the selected direct-evidence ZIP/ZCTA matches in Utah County, Zillow’s June 2026 ZORI, a typical observed asking-rent index, runs from $1,459 in 84601 to $2,365 in 84043—a $906 spread with a $1,696.50 median. This variation makes the decision question local: can a household’s budget and unit-size requirement fit the relevant asking-rent band, rather than relying on one countywide figure? The direct set captures index conditions at distinctly different levels, but it does not quote a particular available property.

These series answer different questions and should remain separate. The ACS 2024 five-year ZCTA median gross-rent estimate ranges from $1,178 in 84604 to $1,989 in 84043, while the county ACS median is $1,541. That survey estimate has a different concept and vintage from Zillow’s current asking-rent index. HUD’s two-bedroom FMR is instead a $1,460 administrative standard across the shown ZIPs, not an asking-rent estimate. Relative to that standard, Zillow’s index is essentially at parity in 84601 (99.9%) and is 62.0% above it in 84043. This comparison is a benchmark gap, not an assertion that either series describes the rent of an equivalent unit. Households should compare a prospective unit’s current rent and bedroom configuration with the appropriate measure, without substituting historical ACS gross rent or FMR for an asking-rent observation.

Burden and vacancy offer a survey-based trade-off rather than a ranking. For the ACS measure of renter households spending 30% or more of income on rent, the reported share ranges from 34.3% in 84043 to 51.7% in 84097. The ACS vacancy estimate spans 1.6% in 84059 to 7.8% in 84604. These endpoints do not establish a causal link among rent, burden, and vacancy, nor do they identify units currently available. For a household, the practical reading is conditional: a lower burden share does not promise a lower current asking rent, and a higher vacancy estimate does not assure a suitable unit at a given price. The measures help frame search conditions alongside the separate ZORI and FMR benchmarks.

Coverage and geography constrain interpretation. The selection displays 12 of 16 eligible direct-ZORI ZIP/ZCTA matches and covers 56,980 renter households, but it is not an exhaustive inventory. Census ZCTAs are statistical areas and do not coincide exactly with USPS delivery ZIPs. Because ZIPs can cross county lines, display assignment uses the county with the largest HUD residential-address share, rather than proof that every associated address lies in Utah County. Before deciding, verify the current unit rent, bedroom count, utilities and fees, lease term, availability, address, and geographic assignment; use the applicable HUD standard only for its administrative purpose.
