What it’s like
The place. Kanab is a small city where the typical resident is somewhat older than in the country as a whole, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run above the county's, and fewer people live below the poverty line than you might expect. A good share of adults hold a four-year degree, and a notable number of people work from home. Winters are cold, with highs well below freezing at night and a fair amount of snow, while July brings very hot days and the year overall is fairly dry.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by other services, shops and the building trades. Across Kane County, the largest workplaces include Kane County Hospital, the Bureau of Land Management and the National Park Service. Unemployment in the county is low and a little lower than a year ago, and the county has gained jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Zion National Park is the best known destination nearby, a national park a longer drive away. Closer to town, Moqui Cave is a museum a short drive away, and Fremont Canyon, a river canyon, is also a short drive off. Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park is a protected area a longer drive away for a day out.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Kanab’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Kane County.
