A typical home is worth about $377,000.
HUD's fair-market rent for a 2-bedroom in Iron County is $1,144 a month. That is the county number, not an apartment listing in Cedar City. 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.
