Now that we’re headed towards the next big election, we wanted to get a better sense of what parts of Utah would be the most likely to back Donald Trump again.
Specifically, which cities have the highest number of conservative voters in the Beehive State?
To do so, we used Saturday Night Science to measure how each city in Utah with populations greater than 5,000 voted in past elections. The cities with the highest percentage of voters who voted Republican were named the most conservative cities in the state.

How we determined the most conservative cities in Utah for 2025
To find the most conservative places in Utah, we used Saturday Night Science – the argument you’d make at a bar – to find the cities with the most conservatives.
We started by making a list of every city in Utah over 5,000 people based on the 2019-2023 American Community Survey. That left us with 89 cities and towns.
We then measured the voting record and MIT election data to determine which places rock the most rightward in their allegiances by:
- Percentage Of Votes For The Republican President In 2020
Because no voting data exists at the city level, we used county-level election results from the 2020 election. We assigned every city in a county the percentage of votes that went to the Republicans, effectively extending the county’s results to the city level. In cases where larger cities encompassed an entire county, the election outcomes accurately reflected the city’s political landscape.
Next, we ranked each city from 1 to 89 for each criterion, where number one was the most conservative.
The winner, Roosevelt, is “The Most Conservative City in Utah For 2025”. The most liberal place in Utah was Cottonwood Heights.
We updated this article for 2025. This report is our tenth time ranking the most conservative places to live in Utah.
