Learn moreWasatch Fault earthquake risk: a real, shared regional factor
As documented for Salt Lake City elsewhere in this project, the Wasatch Fault's real, disclosed 50-year probability of a magnitude 6.75-plus earthquake runs 18%-43% depending on source -- a shared regional risk across the Salt Lake Valley, including West Jordan on the valley floor's west side, not a downtown-Salt-Lake-City-specific concern.
Utah's real, sharply rising homeowners insurance costs
Utah homeowners insurance rates rose a cumulative 70.6% from 2019-2024 (the second-largest state increase nationally, behind Colorado), including a 20.5% jump in 2024 alone -- the same real, statewide trend documented for Salt Lake City, applying to West Jordan as well. Utah nonetheless remains the 41st-most-expensive state for homeowners insurance nationally.
