Emery County in numbers
American Community Survey five-year estimates ending 2024. These are sample estimates, not a count — each carries a margin of error, and where that margin is too wide to mean anything the figure is withheld rather than printed.

One figure is withheld above. The Census Bureau publishes them, but with a margin of error wider than 30% of the value — which for a place this size means the survey sampled too few households to say. They are left out rather than shown with a caveat nobody reads.
Federal money
Obligations recorded against a place of performance in Emery County. An obligation is a legal commitment to pay, not cash out the door — outlays follow later, sometimes by years.

Figures are nominal — not adjusted for inflation — because USAspending publishes them that way and adjusting them here would mean this site had edited a government figure. The per-resident figure divides by the 2020 decennial count, which is the population USAspending carries; a 2020 denominator against 2025 spending overstates per-head figures wherever a place has grown since. Emery County ranks 2586th of 3,233 on this measure in FY2025.
