The short answer

South Weber is home to 8,115 people. Median household income is $138,600 a year and median rent is $1,469 a month, 12.7% 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 $549,200, about 4.0x annual median household income.

What sets South Weber apart is how far household money goes. Money left after rent is $125,000, against $103,000 in its closest peers. Also notable: Rent took 14.9% of the median income in the 2019 survey and 12.7% in 2024. In the 25 places most like it the share rose 2 points on average, so affordability held up better here.

South Weber in 2030: where the trends point

If recent trends hold, the median rent will take about 13% of the median income in 2030, about the same as 13% 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, South Weber does better than 70% of places. Its projected home value growth beats 72%.
