What it’s like
The place. Syracuse is a city on the shore side of Davis County, and it is a place where nearly everyone owns the home they live in. Residents are younger than in most places, and household incomes run above the county's, with few people living below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and snow and rain adding up to a modest amount over the year, while July brings hot days.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing, and in professional and business services. Within Syracuse, some of the largest workplaces are Walmart, Smiths Food And Drug and United States Cold Storage. Unemployment is low and has changed little over the past year, and a fair number of people work from home, though the typical commute is still a real part of the day.
Things to do. The Hill Aerospace Museum is a short drive away and is a good outing for anyone interested in aircraft and flight. A longer drive brings you to the Great Salt Lake and Antelope Island State Park, a protected area for walking and wildlife. Lagoon Amusement Park is also a longer drive away, and Snowbasin offers skiing for those willing to go farther.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Syracuse’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 Davis County and the Ogden-Clearfield, UT metro.
