How does Farmington compare to other US cities?

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

Household income 87% higher than other cities
Home value 90% pricier than other cities
Median rent 64% pricier than other cities
Safety 59% safer than other cities

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

A national percentile can hide a lot of local variation: narrowed to Utah alone, Farmington ranks #33 of 67 Utah cities by lowest crime rate - a different, more locally useful comparison than stacking it against the entire country.

How we calculate these percentiles & ranks

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