Boulder Flats, WY population, income and ZIP codes

Boulder Flats CDP is a very small community in Wyoming, with 470 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #84 of 205 ranked by population — larger than 59% of them. The median age here is 38.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Boulder Flats CDP earn a median of $80,250 a year, 2.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 15% above the $69,912 median for the 54 Wyoming cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 25.5% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Boulder Flats CDP is valued at $192,900, 36.4% below the national figure and 23% below the $251,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,031 a month, 26.7% below the national figure, or roughly $12,372 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 87.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not. With 470 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Boulder Flats CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
