How does Centerville compare to other US cities?

Centerville measured against every US city with 1,000+ residents, computed live from the same Census and FBI data shown throughout this page.

Household income 86% higher than other cities
Home value 84% pricier than other cities

"Safer than" reflects total crime rate from FBI UCR; the others use Census ACS estimates.

How we calculate these percentiles & ranks

Each percentile compares Centerville against every qualifying US city; each in-state rank narrows that to Utah only. Full formula and direction notes: methodology.
