What it’s like
The place. Smithfield is a city in Cache County, home to a young population, with a median age well below what is common across much of the country. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run above the county's, with relatively few residents living below the poverty line. A good share of adults hold a four-year degree, and winters are cold and snowy, while summers turn hot.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, professional and business services, and shops also employing a good number. Within the city, some of the largest workplaces are Paragon Medical, a maker of surgical and medical instruments, the iFit production facility, which makes sporting goods, and Geary Electric, an electrical contractor. Commutes are fairly short, and a fair number of people work from home.
Things to do. A short drive away, Maverik Stadium at Utah State is the place for games, the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art offers a quiet afternoon indoors, and the Ellen Eccles Theatre hosts performances. For time outdoors, Bear Lake is a lake a longer drive away, and the Wasatch–Cache National Forest is a protected area also a longer drive off.

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