What it’s like
The place. Erda is a small city where almost everyone owns the home they live in, and incomes run well above the county's, with very few households living below the poverty line. Typical home values are high, and a good share of adults have a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with December the coldest month, and a lot of snow falls each year, while July brings hot summer days and the year's moisture is modest.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing, and in professional and business services. Across Tooele County, some of the largest workplaces are Walmart, Jabil SLC and Bass Pro Shops Cabelas. Commutes are fairly long, and a noticeable group of residents work from home.
Things to do. Lake Bonneville and the Utah Motorsports Campus, a race track, are both a short drive away, as is Great Salt Lake State Park, a protected area on the shore. For a longer outing, Antelope Island State Park is another protected area a longer drive away, and Hogle Zoo is farther afield too.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Erda’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. 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 Tooele County and the Salt Lake City, UT metro.
