What it’s like
The place. Torrey is a very small town, and nearly every home in it is lived in by its owner. Home values are high for a place this size, and the share of residents living below the poverty line is modest. Winters are cold, with December highs that stay close to freezing, while summers turn warm to hot in July. Only a small amount of rain and melted snow falls over the year, so the climate is dry.
Work. Residents work mostly in the building trades, in schools, hospitals and social care, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, with some in farming, forestry and mining. Across Wayne County, the largest workplaces include Garkane Energy Cooperative, Joe Hiskey Enterprises and the National Park Service. Unemployment in the county is a little lower than it was a year ago, and the county has gained jobs over the past year.
Things to do. The best known place nearby is Capitol Reef National Park, a national park a longer drive away. Blind Lake is a lake a short drive away, and Dixie National Forest, a protected area, is also a longer drive from town. Anyone curious about the region's early history can visit Hanks' Dugouts, an archaeological site 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 Torrey’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 Wayne County.
