What does A.I. say about Ogden?
Ogden delivers an appealing option for inexpensive living based somewhere inside Utah’s Weber County offering up medians arriving around the mid-$300s and rent often comes in a bit closer to $1 < 500 dollars depending upon desired amenities - significantly pricier compared to ocean side towns like Roy or Clearfield situated far deeper down eastward. Grocery stores equally hover just below US figures thanks largely to local taxes & regulations while sales tax amounts out unaltered at 8%.
