What it’s like
The place. Cedar Hills is a small city in Utah County where residents are younger than in most places, and nearly everyone owns the home they live in. Household incomes run well above the county's, relatively few people live below the poverty line, and most adults hold a four-year degree. Homes here are priced high, and renting costs a good deal too. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers are hot, with July the warmest. Precipitation is on the modest side for the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, shops, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Utah County, some of the largest workplaces are Brigham Young University, Utah Valley University and Utah Valley Hospital. The typical commute is a moderate one, and a good number of people work from home. Unemployment across the county has held steady compared with a year ago, and the county has added a few more jobs.
Things to do. The American Fork river runs in or beside town. A short drive away are Timpanogos Cave National Monument, a protected area, and Sundance Resort, a ski area. For a day out on the water, Utah Lake is a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Cedar Hills’ census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Utah County and the Provo-Orem, UT metro.
