Things Payson needs to improve
Hello, Born and raised here. Homes are going for about $388,200 on average. You can expect to pay around $1,393 for rent here. With a population of 22,205, Payson is a small town. Median household income is $84,286, which feels pretty solid for the area. Household incomes average around $84,286 in Payson. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.
Pros:
- Low crime in most areas
- Good schools
- Low taxes
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons:
- Hot summers
- High property taxes
- Chain restaurants dominate
