Vineyard is a medium-sized town located in the state of Utah. With a population of 14,500 people and two associated neighborhoods, Vineyard is the 55th largest community in Utah. Vineyard has seen a significant amount of newer housing growth in recent years.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 16.06% 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.

Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
