Kanab is currently going through a demographic shift in population moving towards an older and retired population. Geographic location, weather, amenities, and the close proximity to a larger metropolitan area have made for excellent retirement conditions. Over 90 homes have sold in the last 6 months predominantly to retired couples re-locating from California and Nevada.

The business center of Kanab focuses primarily on tourism and the retirement community. The events of 911 took a toll on the tourism market; however in the past two years the area has seen a recovery and a shift to a more stable tourist market.

To meet the needs of the retirement population as well as the other members of the community Kanab has recently completed a new hospital and has increased the available dental services.
