What it’s like
The place. Roosevelt is a small city in Duchesne County, home to a young community with a median age well below what is typical for the country. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run a little below the county's, though a somewhat larger share of people live below the poverty line than is common nationally. Winters are cold, with January highs hovering around freezing and nights well below it, and summers turn hot in July, with modest snowfall and little rain through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with farming, forestry and mining, retail, and transport and warehousing also employing a good number. The largest workplaces in Roosevelt include Uintah Basin Medical Center and Uintah Basin Technical College, along with Outlaw Engineering. Commutes are short, and the county has seen modest job growth, with unemployment holding steady from a year ago.
Things to do. The closest of the nearby outdoor spots is Lake Fork River, a short drive away. Farther out, a longer drive reaches Ashley National Forest, a large protected area, and Steinaker State Park, a protected area built around a reservoir. Several other rivers and a wildlife refuge lie within a longer drive as well.

Natural hazards
- LightningVery high
- Winter weatherRelatively high
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Roosevelt’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very low. 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 Duchesne County.
