Utah price level98.9BEA regional price parity · 2024 · US = 100
Gross rent combines contract rent with the estimated average monthly cost of tenant-paid utilities and fuels. It describes occupied rental housing, not current asking rents, student accommodation or the cost of a room in a shared home. Household income is not an individual worker’s salary.
The state price index compares the overall price of goods and services with the national average. An index of 98.9 is approximately 1.1% below the national price level. It is context for planning, not a multiplier for a personal budget or a cost-adjusted salary.
