What it’s like
The place. Sunset is a small city in Davis County, home to a young community, with residents younger on average than across the county. Most homes are lived in by their owners, though incomes run well below the county's, and a four-year degree is less common among adults here than in much of the country. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are hot, with July the warmest; the year brings only modest rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in the building trades, and in shops. Across Davis County, some of the largest workplaces are Lagoon, FedEx and Holy Cross Hospital - Davis. The typical commute is a moderate one, and few people work from home.
Things to do. Hill Aerospace Museum is in or beside town, and Fort Buenaventura, a protected historic area, is a short drive away. For a longer outing, Great Salt Lake is a longer drive away, and Snowbasin, a ski area, is also a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Sunset’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Davis County and the Ogden-Clearfield, UT metro.
