What it’s like
The place. Paradise is a very small town in Cache County, Utah, where nearly everyone lives in a home they own. Few households live below the poverty line, and homes are valued well above what is typical for much of the country. Adults here are far more likely than most to hold a four-year degree, and winters are cold and snowy, with summers that turn properly warm in July.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, and in transport, warehouses and utilities. Across Cache County, the largest workplaces include Utah State University, Logan Regional Hospital and Schreiber Foods. Some people work from home, and unemployment in the county is low and close to where it stood a year earlier.
Things to do. The Little Bear River runs in or beside town, and Hyrum State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away. A longer drive brings you to Wasatch–Cache National Forest and to Snowbasin, a ski area that suits the snowy winters.

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