What it’s like
The place. Cornish is a very small farming town in Cache County, Utah, with far fewer residents than most places people think of as a town. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers turn properly hot by July. Rain and melted snow add up to a modest amount over the year, and most of the moisture arrives as snow.
Work. People who live in Cornish work mainly 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. Unemployment in the county is close to where it stood a year ago, and the county has added a few more jobs over the past year.
Things to do. The Logan River is a river a longer drive away, and Tony Grove Lake is a mountain lake that is also a longer drive. Wasatch–Cache National Forest, a protected area of forest land, lies a longer drive away as well. For a ski day, Beaver Mountain is a ski area, again a longer drive from town.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Cornish’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.
