What it’s like
The place. Mona is a small city in Juab County where nearly every home is lived in by its owners, and where homes are valued well above what many small towns see. Winters are cold and snowy, with a good deal of snow each year, while summers turn hot by July. Few residents live below the poverty line, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many parts of the country.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in the building trades and in shops. Across Juab County, some of the largest workplaces are Central Valley Medical Center, Owens Corning's Nephi facility and Mastronardi Produce, which grows tomatoes under cover. Many people have a fairly long drive to work, and a good number work from home.
Things to do. Mona Reservoir is a short drive away, and so are Nebo National Forest and Payson National Forest, both protected areas of woods and mountain country. Utah Lake, a larger lake with its own state park, is a longer drive away. For an indoor outing, the Springville Museum of Art is also a longer drive.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Mona’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 Juab County and the Provo-Orem, UT metro.
