Demographic Data
ZIP code 84078 encompasses a growing suburban community in Vernal, Utah, with a total recorded population of 30,075 residents. With a median age of 31.6, residents skew younger than the national average, a profile consistent with areas experiencing active residential growth and family formation. Children and working-age adults under 45 likely make up the bulk of the population. About 10.9% of residents fall into the 65-and-over age bracket, a modest but notable portion consistent with the area's younger overall age profile. While seniors are not the dominant demographic group, their presence still reflects an ongoing need for Medicare-eligible services. The gender balance is essentially equal, with males at 50.4% and females at 49.6% of the total population. This near-parity reflects a typical residential community without significant gender skew from institutions, industries, or other structural factors. White non-Hispanic residents form the largest share of the population at 82.6%. Hispanic or Latino residents account for 8.7% of the total, a visible and meaningful presence in the community. Asian residents make up 0.5% of the population. Black or African American residents account for 0.5%. Minority populations are present but not dominant, giving the community a largely homogeneous demographic profile with modest diversity.
Economic Metrics
The median household income of 70,694 dollars places this ZIP code in a solidly middle-income range, near or slightly below the Utah state median. Most households here are working families or dual-earner couples with stable but not expansive financial resources. Cost-conscious decision-making remains a priority, and access to affordable healthcare coverage, including Medicare Advantage and supplemental plans, is a real concern for seniors and pre-retirees in this area. Looking at the income distribution more broadly, about 358 households fall below $10,000 in annual income, representing the most financially vulnerable residents in this community. In the upper-middle range, a solid 1,417 households earn between $100,000 and $125,000 per year, reflecting a healthy middle-income core. At the top of the scale, only 455 households report income above $200,000, meaning top earners represent a small but present segment. The middle-income profile here is consistent with a diverse employment base that includes skilled trades, government employment, healthcare support roles, education, and small business ownership. Utah's strong job market has helped sustain this segment of earners across many communities in the state.
