What it’s like
The place. Goshen is a very small town in Utah County, with a population that stays well under what most people picture for a town. Household incomes run a little below the county's, and a four-year degree is held by fewer adults than you might expect in this part of Utah. Winters are cold, with January the chilliest month, and a good deal of snow falls over the year. Summers turn hot by July, and rain and melted snow together add up to a fairly dry year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by the building trades, professional and business services, and shops. Across Utah County, the largest workplaces include Brigham Young University, Utah Valley University and Utah Valley Hospital. Most people travel a fair distance to work, and a small share work from home. Unemployment across the county is close to where it stood a year ago, and the county has added a few more jobs.
Things to do. Goshen Reservoir and Currant Creek are in or beside town, and Mona Reservoir is a short drive away. For a longer outing, Utah Lake State Park sits on the shore of Utah Lake, and the Springville Museum of Art is a museum 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 Goshen’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 Utah County and the Provo-Orem, UT metro.
