What it’s like
The place. Fairview is a small city where nearly everyone lives in a home they own, a far higher share than is usual across the country. Fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than in many places, and a good number of people do their jobs from home. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and freezing nights, while July brings hot days; the year is fairly dry, with modest rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, the building trades and shops also employing many. Across Sanpete County, the largest workplaces include Snow College, Pitman Farms' Moroni turkey processing plant and Sanpete Valley Hospital. Unemployment across the county is about where it was a year ago, and the county has added a few more jobs over the past year.
Things to do. The land around Fairview is good for time outdoors. Manti–La Sal National Forest is a protected area of forest a longer drive away, and Scofield Reservoir and Electric Lake are reservoirs, also a longer drive off, for anyone who likes water and open country. For an evening indoors, the Moroni Opera House is a theatre 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 Fairview’s 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 Sanpete County.
