[constituency_baseline] District summary: Utah's 4th Congressional District encompasses portions of Salt Lake, Utah, Juab, and Sanpete Counties, stretching from the southern Salt Lake City suburbs through Utah County to central Utah. The district is home to approximately 872,000 residents with a notably young median age of 30.9 — significantly below the national median of 38.5 — driven by large families and a high birth rate. The district is 76.5% White (Non-Hispanic) and 17.3% Hispanic. Median household income is $106,578, well above the national median, with a low poverty rate of 4.3%. Homeownership is 75.2% with a median property value of $508,500. 35.6% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. The district leans heavily Republican (R+35 per LegisLetter, won by Owens with 63.4% in 2024). Originally created after the 2010 Census, the district has been represented by Owens since 2021. A 2026 redistricting altered its boundaries, and Owens announced he would not seek reelection. Key population centers include South Jordan, Lehi, Saratoga Springs, Eagle Mountain, and portions of Sandy and West Jordan.

Voted n/a on N/A (announced retirement) (Owens announced he will not seek reelection in 2026 following Utah redistricting that created three Republican-leaning seats for four GOP incumbents) on 2026-03-04: Owens retired rather than face a potential incumbent-vs-incumbent primary after redistricting. He stated he would continue advocating for at-risk children outside of elected office, closing a congressional career defined by hardline conservative votes and contradictions between his personal debt history and anti-relief policy positions.

UT-04's poverty rate of 4.3% masks income inequality — Hispanic children in the district experience an 11% poverty rate — and many families depended on the expanded child tax credit and stimulus payments.
