What it’s like
The place. Lewiston is a small city in Cache County, in the far north of Utah's Cache Valley. Residents are younger than in most of the country, and household incomes run above the county's, with very few people living below the poverty line. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and the typical home value is high.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, farming and the building trades also common. Across Cache County, some of the largest workplaces are Utah State University, Logan Regional Hospital and Schreiber Foods. The typical commute is a moderate one, and a fair number of people work from home.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Bear Lake is a lake and Logan River a river, both a longer drive away, as is Wasatch–Cache National Forest, a protected area. Beaver Mountain, also a longer drive away, is a ski area, which suits the winters here: cold, with a good deal of snow and a modest amount of rain and melted snow over the year. Summers are warm.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Lewiston’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 Cache County and the Logan, UT-ID metro.
