Sunset, Utah Neighborhood Guide: Schools, Parks, Shopping & Amenities
Sunset packs 5,567 residents into roughly one square mile of northern Davis County, with a median age of 30.3 and a median household income of $74,250 — a young, largely owner-occupied city where about 69% of homes are lived in by their owners. Because the city itself is small, day-to-day life here is a mix of what's inside the city limits — a park, an elementary school, city services — and what sits five to fifteen minutes away in Clearfield, Layton and Ogden. This guide lays out both: where kids go to school, where you'll walk the dog, where you'll buy groceries, and how long each of those takes to reach.
