A small, historic town just off I-15, Leeds sits at the doorstep of the Silver Reef ghost town and the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve, with one of the county's highest median ages.
U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 5-year estimates (2019–2023).
Leeds has a quiet, largely retiree-oriented population, reflected in a median age of over 61 — among the highest of any community in Washington County. Its economy is closely tied to tourism from Silver Reef and outdoor recreation at nearby state parks.
Leeds offers a rural, low-density lifestyle with larger lots and mountain views, a short drive from both Hurricane and St. George.
