West Valley City, UT demographics: median age 31.2; 16.1% of adults 25+ hold a bachelor’s degree. Age, race, households, languages and education, ACS 2020–2024 with margins of error.
ACS 2020–2024 · West Valley City city, Utah · Incorporated city · GEOID 4983470. The survey
estimates a population of 138,437 for its
five-year window. This is separate from the annual July 2025 population
estimate on the city overview.
Median age in West Valley City is 31.2 years, with
a 90% margin of error of 0.6 years. There are 39,617 households (±1,040).
Age and household distributions show how these totals are composed; they do
not establish which neighborhood suits a particular person.
Every count and share is an estimate. “±” is a 90% margin of error (MOE); pp
means percentage points. Derived shares use the category count divided by
the named universe. Aggregated category MOEs and percentage MOEs are
approximate. A margin larger than half its estimate is flagged as low
precision. Blank source uncertainty is shown as unavailable, never zero.

Hispanic origin and race are separate questions. People of Hispanic or
Latino origin may be of any race and appear in both tables. Do not add the
Hispanic share to race shares. Race alone and two-or-more-race groups are
the mutually exclusive categories of the race table.
A family household contains related people under the Census definition. A
nonfamily household can contain one person or unrelated people sharing a
home. Households with children can also appear in the household-type and
size tables, so those tables must not be added together. Household
estimates exclude people living in group quarters from the household
universe.

Foreign born means not a U.S. citizen at birth; it includes naturalized
citizens. Language categories describe speech at home among people age
five and older. A language other than English at home does not establish
that someone cannot speak English. This city page uses the published
C16001 summary categories because the more detailed B16001 table does not
provide these city records in this release.

These are respondents’ residence patterns one year before their survey
response, pooled across the five-year window. They are not a net migration
count for 2025. A person can move to a different house within the same
city or county; moves within the same county should not automatically be
interpreted as new arrivals to the city.

measured the same period. For methods, see uncertainty and denominator calculations.
