Eagle Mountain’s day-to-day spending in 2022 ($624 per resident, hospital and utilities left out) against 23 Utah cities of 25,000–49,999 that don’t run their own schools: the median was $860, and the middle half spent $603–$1,434. Eagle Mountain spent less than 70% of them.
Includes sewer and trash ($4.3 million), as the Census Bureau counts them. Later years come from a Census sample, so the comparison stays on 2022. How Town Hall compares budgets →
Utah cities of 25,000–49,999 that don’t run their own schools, 2022 Census of Governments (every government counted that year; Eagle Mountain itself left out).
Day-to-day spending is down 64% since 2022
Day-to-day services, in dollars, in the years Eagle Mountain reported to the Census Bureau. Prices rose too: about 4% a year in 2022–2024.
Day-to-day spending by fiscal year
Per resident: 2022: $624 · 2023: $750 · 2024: $176. Per resident it went from $624 to $176 (down 72%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 42,013 to 54,149.
full-time in March 2025, up from 166 in 2022. Both are Census estimates.
Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
