ZIP codes can reveal a lot of wealth. They’re useful in this regard because of their unique geographical scope. Sometimes a ZIP code will encompass an entire town or city. Other times, ZIP codes are much smaller, just a portion of a city, or sometimes a tiny tract of houses. Because of this, we can identify areas of wealth that are often shrouded in means, medians, and overall aggregations.
For this article, we wanted to breakdown the most expensive ZIP codes in Utah. Like many Rocky Mountain states, the geography is considerably varied. Vast tracts of empty mountaintops coincide with densely populated ski towns and suburbs in green valleys. Read on to find out the most expensive ZIP codes in Utah in 2024, based on the latest data from Zillow’s home value index.
The Most Expensive ZIP Codes in Utah
Relying on data from Zillow’s home value index, as well as the Census Bureau’s 2023 American Community Survey, we analyzed thousands of ZIP codes across the U.S. as part of a general survey. From there, we focused our attention on Utah. The Zillow home value index tracks (as of November 2024) the home values of 184 ZIP codes in Utah. As part of our analysis, we took into consideration the latest monthly home values Zillow has — November 2024 — as well as the average of 12 months of median home values from December 2023 to November 2024.
