Hoback, WY population, income and ZIP codes

Hoback CDP is a small town in Wyoming, with 1,609 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #41 of 205 ranked by population — larger than 80% of them. The median age here is 40.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Hoback CDP earn a median of $156,766 a year, 99.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 124% above the $69,912 median for the 54 Wyoming cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 0.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hoback CDP is valued at $1,287,500, 324.4% above the national figure and 412% above the $251,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 8.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is out of reach on local earnings alone and the ownership market leans on outside income, equity or dual high earners. 64.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

Home values sit at 8.2× median household income, far past the 3.9× national mark, so ownership costs here are set by something other than local wages — second homes, retirees with equity, or commuters earning elsewhere.

The Census withheld gross rent for Hoback CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
