Johnstown, WY population, income and ZIP codes

Johnstown CDP is a very small community in Wyoming, with 227 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #120 of 205 ranked by population — larger than 41% of them. The median age here is 59.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Johnstown CDP earn a median of $56,458 a year, 28.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 19% below 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 19.4% 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 Johnstown CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $725 a month, 48.4% below the national figure, or roughly $8,700 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. 83.6% 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.

A median age of 59.1 puts Johnstown CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 227 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Johnstown CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value for Johnstown 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.
