Santa Clara is a somewhat small city located in the state of Utah. With a population of 8,492 people and two associated neighborhoods, Santa Clara is the 80th largest community in Utah. Much of the housing stock in Santa Clara was built relatively recently. The construction of new real estate can often be taken as an indication that the local Santa Clara economy is robust, and that jobs or other amenities are attracting an influx of new residents. This seems to be the case in Santa Clara, where the median household income is $91,625.00.

Housing costs in Santa Clara are among some of the highest in the nation, although real estate prices here don't compare to real estate prices in the most expensive communities in Utah.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 15.33% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

Because of many things, Santa Clara is a very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, Santa Clara really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Santa Clara perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic nightlife, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live.
