San Juan County, UT

Blanding, Utah has about 3,275 people. That count is a 2020–2024 Census average, not a headcount from one day.

A typical home is worth about $305,800.

HUD's fair-market rent for a 2-bedroom in San Juan County is $1,042 a month. That is the county number, not an apartment listing in Blanding. It runs from October 2026 through September 2027.

Utah's prices sit at 98.9 when the U.S. average is 100. This place is not in a metro area with its own index, so this is the state number from BEA for 2024.

Utah taxes wages. A typical combined sales tax is 7.4% as of January 1, 2026. That mix is statewide, not Blanding's exact store tax.

In July 2026, a typical Utah home paid 13.12¢ per kilowatt-hour. That is a state average from EIA, not Blanding's bill.

EIA did not publish a 2025 all-grades gas price for Utah in the table we use.
