The cost of living in Summit County is almost 35% higher than the national average. In Park City alone, the average home costs over $2 million.
The area median income (AMI) for a family of four is $134,700, but this number is misleading because workforce wages are much lower.
Park City and Summit County’s average earnings per job are $4,000 lower than the state of Utah’s, which is already $10,000 less than the national average of $74,153.
