Zillow's own current average home value ran $365,033 (DOWN 6.6% year-over-year), while a separately cited February 2026 figure ran $435,658 (UP 2.4% year-over-year) -- a genuine discrepancy this record states plainly rather than resolving to one number. Either figure confirms Ogden runs meaningfully below Salt Lake City's $579,572-$742,500 disclosed range.
Rent: a real, disclosed ZIP-code range
Rent ranges $1,317-$1,737 across Ogden ZIP codes -- a genuinely wide spread reflecting real neighborhood variation between downtown, near-university, and outlying areas.
Utah's flat income tax and Weber County's property tax
Utah's flat income tax reached 4.45% for tax year 2026, part of a real, multi-year cut streak. Weber County's own effective property tax rate runs approximately 0.65% -- genuinely higher than Salt Lake or Utah counties, documented elsewhere in this batch, but still well below the national median.
Key takeaways
- Ogden's own housing-value figures carry a real, disclosed spread (down 6.6% on one citation, up 2.4% on another) -- confirm current comparables for a specific address.

- Utah's flat 4.45% (2026) income tax applies statewide; Weber County's ~0.65% property tax rate runs above Salt Lake/Utah counties but below the national median.
