What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Provo

Very close to downtown. Very close to the freeway. Only a couple blocks from the bank, the store, restaurants

I like to take a walk with my friends around the community on weekends, and eat at the restaurant next to the community at night

The quiet air if the whole neighborhood. It's very friendly, even people I haven't met yet greet me and each other. It's nice to see and be in.

I like that it is moderately quiet. There are quite a few newer families. My favorite local restaurants are a bit further than i would like but I still enjoy them. I like to go out to eat and just take a nice walk outside.

We have a neighborhood park that leads to a forested area. I grew up with neighborhood kids playing hide and seek and building bridges and forts in those woods.

I like that it takes me no more than 5 minutes to get to Walmart and the gym. There are actually a lot of great eating options in all directions

All About

Living in Provo, UT

Provo is a mid-sized city in Utah with slightly less than 116,000 residents. Families with young children should feel welcome, as kids under 5 make up an above-average percentage of the population, though young adults appear in large numbers as well. With an average age of just under 28, the city's population is notably younger than most cities in Utah. Home ownership is less common than renting in the area, and 41% of residents own their homes, driven in part by a relatively affordable average rent that is $139 a month lower than the state average. Over the course of a year, renters in Provo will save around $1,700 compared to the state average.

Twelve percent of Provo residents over the age of 25 possess a Bachelor's degree, while 5% have a Master's or Doctoral degree. There are four primary industries in Provo: education, retail, healthcare, and entertainment. Together, these industries make up 30% of the city's workforce. Meanwhile, looking at job function, many workers in these industries are in sales, as 5% of the city's population reports this as their field of work, the highest number of any profession. With an average annual income of just under $60,000, Provo workers earn less than the average Utah resident. The city's average income also trails the national average of $73,345.

With an average commute time of about 20 minutes, outperforming most cities in Utah, Provo residents find that getting to work isn't overly time-consuming. Many residents (39%) drive themselves to work, while public transit is not used much. A small percentage of workers (6%) commute on foot, though the number is significantly higher than the national average.
