Yoder, WY population, income and ZIP codes

Yoder town is a very small community in Wyoming, with 193 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #132 of 205 ranked by population — larger than 35% of them. The median age here is 48.6 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 Yoder town earn a median of $39,750 a year, 49.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 43% below the $69,912 median for the 54 Wyoming cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 17.6% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Yoder town is valued at $123,800, 59.2% below the national figure and 51% below the $251,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,250 a month, 11.1% below the national figure, or roughly $15,000 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 37.7% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 80.3% 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. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

Yoder town is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 37.7% of median income while homes cost only 3.1× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price. With 193 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Yoder town against its county rather than against national figures.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
