Demographic Data
ZIP code 84759 encompasses a modest-sized community in Panguitch, Utah, with a total recorded population of 2,199 residents. A median age of 36.8 places this community on the slightly older side of the national median, suggesting a more settled residential character. Established homeowners, older workers, and a growing share of pre-retirement adults shape the community's daily life. About 20.3% of the population is aged 65 or older, a substantial share that places this ZIP code among the more senior-concentrated areas in the region. This older cohort shapes community priorities around healthcare access, fixed-income living, and Medicare utilization. Males comprise 50.8% of the population and females 49.2%, a modest male majority. This slight imbalance may reflect occupational patterns, the presence of correctional or military facilities, or simply statistical variation within the normal range for residential ZIP codes. White non-Hispanic residents form the largest share of the population at 92.5%. Hispanic or Latino residents make up 3.4% of the population. Black or African American residents account for 0.1%. The community is highly homogeneous by national standards, with racial and ethnic minority groups representing a small fraction of the overall population.
Economic Metrics
The median household income of 64,962 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, a small number of households, approximately 27, report income under $10,000 annually. In the upper-middle range, 115 households fall in the $100,000 to $125,000 income range. At the top of the scale, only 30 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.
