About
Life in Centerville
If you're considering a move to the Ogden-Clearfield metro area, Centerville feels like a quieter, more family-oriented alternative to busier neighboring communities—a place where people actually settle in for the long haul rather than pass through. The median household income sits at a solid $123,130, and the median home price of around $531,200 reflects a relatively stable market compared to other parts of Utah, though housing costs remain a serious factor for your budget. You're looking at rents averaging $1,918 per month, so affordability depends entirely on whether you're buying or renting, but the jobs market is steady with a 3.3% unemployment rate and a reasonable 20-minute commute to most employment centers in the region.
