The county seat and largest city in Washington County, St. George blends a historic downtown with golf courses, red rock trails, and some of the mildest winters in Utah.
U.S. Census Bureau estimate; growing toward roughly 111,000 by 2026. Household income and poverty figures from U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey estimates.
St. George's economy is anchored by healthcare (Intermountain St. George Regional Hospital), tourism as the gateway to Zion National Park, retail, and Utah Tech University. Downtown's Ancestor Square and a fast-growing base of remote workers and retirees have kept the local economy diversifying beyond tourism alone.
Warm winters, an extensive network of red rock hiking and biking trails, and a walkable historic downtown draw everyone from young families to retirees. Golf is a major draw, with more than a dozen courses in the immediate area.
