Learn morePro: real, extraordinary, demand-driven population growth
Herriman's population growth from roughly 20,000 to a real, disclosed 65,423-70,696 estimate over 15 years reflects genuine, sustained demand for new-construction family housing in southwest Salt Lake County.
Pro: a genuinely affluent, family-driven population
Herriman's median household income ($122,650) runs genuinely close to Riverton's, among the highest in this batch, alongside the youngest median age (29.8) and lowest senior share (4.49%) of the four markets.
Con: genuinely expensive, still-appreciating housing
Herriman's home-value figures ($572,500-$609,825 depending on source) run notably higher than Taylorsville's or Millcreek's, built elsewhere in this same batch.
Con: a still-forming, actively developing landscape
Herriman's new-construction-heavy areas (Rosecrest, Anthem, Mountain Ridge) mean an actively developing landscape of ongoing subdivision construction, new schools, and new roads -- a real trade-off against an established, fully built-out suburb.
