Pleasant View

Weber County, Utah · part of the Ogden, UT metro

UtahPleasant View, UTPleasant ViewPleasant View

The short answer

Pleasant View is home to 11,217 people. Median household income is $129,462 a year and median rent is $1,741 a month, 16.1% of income (a ratio of two medians, not any one household's burden). Rent pressure is lighter than in most places. The median home is valued at $593,400, about 4.6x annual median household income.

Pleasant View stands out on value for money. Rent is light relative to pay, but the county has a FEMA natural hazard risk score of 87 out of 100. Budget for insurance before counting the savings. Also notable: Housing became less affordable between 2019 and 2024: rent went from 13.4% to 16.1% of income.

Pleasant View in 2030: where the trends point

If recent trends hold, the median rent will take about 17% of the median income in 2030, about the same as 16% now.

Citytistics projections to 2030: each figure's own trend, blended with the typical trend across the places we rate, eased toward long-run US growth and carried forward from the latest release. The range is where 80% of places landed when we tested the same method on past releases. On projected 2030 affordability, Pleasant View does better than 54% of places. Its projected home value growth beats 92%.
