Lance Creek, WY population, income and ZIP codes

Lance Creek CDP is a very small community in Wyoming, with 47 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #172 of 205 ranked by population — larger than 16% of them. The median age here is 64.8 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 Lance Creek CDP earn a median of not published a year. 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 55.3% 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 Lance Creek CDP is valued at $222,900, 26.5% below the national figure and 11% below the $251,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 76% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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 64.8 puts Lance Creek 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.

The Census withheld household income, gross rent for Lance Creek 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.
