Bingham Canyon Neighborhood Overview
Welcome to Bingham Canyon
Bingham Canyon is a historic, unincorporated community in Salt Lake County, Utah, with a postal code of 84006. It is famously the location of the Kennecott Copper Mine, one of the world's largest open-pit mines. The area offers a unique, rural mountain lifestyle just a short drive from the amenities of West Jordan and Herriman.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Life in Bingham Canyon is defined by its dramatic mountain setting and deep mining history rather than traditional urban amenities. With an EPA Walkability Index score of 3 out of 20, daily errands require a car. Residents enjoy unparalleled access to outdoor recreation in the surrounding Oquirrh Mountains and a strong sense of community tied to the area's heritage.

Proximity to the larger cities of West Jordan and Herriman provides access to their broader range of public and private school districts.
Transportation & Connectivity
Bingham Canyon is almost entirely car-dependent due to its mountainous location and very low walkability score. Major state routes connect residents to Interstate 15 and the employment and retail centers of the Salt Lake Valley, with West Jordan approximately 4 miles away. Public transit options are extremely limited within the canyon itself.
Why Choose Bingham Canyon
Bingham Canyon is ideal for those seeking a secluded, nature-centric lifestyle with significant historical character.
