Cost of living in Wellington, Utah

Wellington, Utah has about 1,624 people. That count is a 2020–2024 Census average, not a headcount from one day.

A typical home is worth about $179,500.

HUD's fair-market rent for a 2-bedroom in Carbon County is $1,014 a month. That is the county number, not an apartment listing in Wellington. 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 Wellington'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 Wellington's bill.

EIA does not publish a Utah gasoline price. For the week of October 12, 2026, the Rocky Mountain (PADD 4) all-grades price was $4.575 a gallon. At 12,000 miles a year and 25 mpg, the index counts that as $2,196.00 a year. Those miles are our standard, not a Census figure, and every town in Utah shares this price.
