Learn moreA real, genuinely unreconciled housing-value spread
Millcreek's home-value figures disagree even on direction: one Zillow-sourced average ran $645,592 (up 2.9% year-over-year), a separately cited typical value ran $594,116 (down 4.0% year-over-year), and a 2026 median sale price ran higher still at $719,000 -- confirm a specific listing directly rather than budgeting off any single citation.
A genuinely higher median household income than Taylorsville
Millcreek's 2024 median household income ran $98,045, genuinely higher than Taylorsville's $86,413 -- though genuinely lower than Riverton's ($126,910) or Herriman's ($122,650), this batch's newer-construction family suburbs.
Utah's flat income tax and a real, disclosed sales tax spread
Utah's flat 4.45% state income tax (2026) applies statewide. Millcreek's own combined sales tax rate carries a real, disclosed spread across sources: 6.85% per one citation versus 7.45% per another -- both disclosed rather than reconciled.
Salt Lake County's property tax rate
Salt Lake County's effective property tax rate runs approximately 0.56%, the same figure documented elsewhere in this project's Utah batch.
