registered sex offenders live in Utah — that's 1 in every 303 residents, or 33 per 10,000, 38% above the national average.
Registered sex offender counts for the 12 largest cities in Utah, with each city's rate per 10,000 residents. Raw counts track population — the per-capita column is the fair comparison, and the spread is dramatic: Salt Lake City's rate is 20× South Jordan's.

Every Utah city we track has its own page with neighborhood-level numbers, risk levels, and recent registrations:
Statewide numbers only tell you so much — what matters is who lives near your home, your kids' school, or the places your family spends time. The free Predator Map app searches any U.S. address and shows every registered offender around it on an interactive map, with photos, offense details, and registered addresses from official government registries. You can also search the official Utah Sex Offender Registry (Dept. of Corrections) directly.
10-year and lifetime registration. Utah registers offenders for 10 years or life depending on the offense and publishes registrants on the Corrections Department's public site.
Protected-area rules rather than residence bans. Utah generally restricts registrants from being in "protected areas" (schools, childcare, parks, playgrounds) rather than barring residence near them; supervision adds individual conditions.
Registration & verification. Registrants must keep their address, employment, and schooling current with the registry, and verify in person on a recurring schedule — more frequently for higher-risk or higher-tier registrants. Failure to register or verify is itself a crime and commonly appears as a listed offense on registry records.
Current risk-level breakdown in Utah:
As of July 2026, there are 10,805 registered sex offenders in Utah — about 33 for every 10,000 residents, 38% above the national average. Counts change as offenders register, move, or are removed from the registry.
Salt Lake City has the most registered sex offenders in Utah with 3,067. Raw counts track population, so the fairer comparison is per capita: adjusted for population, Salt Lake City has the highest rate among major cities at 153.6 per 10,000 residents, while South Jordan has the lowest at 7.5.

Public registry websites only show what the state chooses to publish. Utah publishes registrants with current registration duties on the public site. Statistics on this page are compiled from aggregated official registry records, so they can differ from — and often exceed — what a manual search of the public site returns.
Protected-area rules rather than residence bans. Utah generally restricts registrants from being in "protected areas" (schools, childcare, parks, playgrounds) rather than barring residence near them; supervision adds individual conditions. Address-level monitoring matters more than assumptions about "safe" neighborhoods.
Statistics on this page are compiled from official state registry records and refreshed monthly. This page was last updated in July 2026. Always verify individual records with the official state registry.
Yes. Predator Map Pro monitors up to 5 addresses daily and sends push and email alerts when a registered offender moves in nearby, a new offender registers, or someone moves away.
Yes. Registry information is public record under federal and state law (Megan's Law), and anyone may search it to protect themselves and their family. What the law prohibits is using registry information to harass, threaten, or commit a crime against a registrant — misuse can be prosecuted.

Methodology: Statistics are compiled from aggregated official state registry records and refreshed monthly. City figures count the city listed on each registry record. Per-capita rates use 2020 U.S. Census populations. Aggregated counts can exceed what public registry websites display because some classification levels are excluded from public searches. Figures are estimates and change daily as registries update — always verify individual records with the official state registry.
