What it’s like
The place. Panguitch is a small city in Garfield County, home to a population that has stayed modest in size. Households here earn more than the county's typical household, and fewer residents live below the poverty line than you might expect for a rural place. Winters are cold, with December highs staying below freezing and lows dropping well under it, and a fair amount of snow falls each year. Summers are warm in July, and the year as a whole is fairly dry.
Work. Many residents work in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, which fits a town that sits near some of Utah's best known scenery. Others work in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, or in government. Across Garfield County, the largest workplaces include THE Lodge at Bryce Canyon, Garfield Memorial Hospital and the National Park Service. Job numbers across the county grew a little last year, and the share of people working from home is small.
Things to do. Utah State Route 12, a tourist attraction, is a short drive away and makes an easy scenic outing. A longer drive brings you to Bryce Canyon National Park, one of the best known national parks in the state. Panguitch Lake, a reservoir, is also a longer drive away and suits a day by the water.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Panguitch’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 Garfield County.
