What it’s like
The place. Clarkston is a very small town in Cache County, Utah, where nearly every home is lived in by its owner. Homes here are valued well above what many older owners paid for theirs, and a smaller share of residents live below the poverty line than in many places. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while July brings hot summer days, and the year's moisture comes as a mix of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in professional and business services, and in shops. Across Cache County, some of the largest workplaces are Utah State University, Logan Regional Hospital and Schreiber Foods. The trip to work is a fairly long one, and few people work from home.
Things to do. Cutler Reservoir is a short drive away and is the closest spot for time near the water. A longer drive brings you to Wasatch–Cache National Forest, a protected area of woods and mountains, and to Tony Grove Lake, a mountain lake. Beaver Mountain, a ski area, is also a longer drive away and suits the snowy winters.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Clarkston’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Cache County and the Logan, UT-ID metro.
