ZIP code 82213

ZIP 82213 is a very small community in Platte County, Wyoming, with 680 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #80 of 176 ranked by population — larger than 54% of them. The median age here is 49.6 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 ZIP 82213 earn a median of $67,692 a year, 13.8% below the national figure of $78,538. 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 7.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 82213 is valued at $245,300, 19.1% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,607 a month, 14.3% above the national figure, or roughly $19,284 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 28.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 75.8% 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.

With 680 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare ZIP 82213 against its county rather than against national figures.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.

ZIP 82213 is tabulated inside Platte County, Wyoming, one of 5 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 176 across Wyoming. Fewer than 2,500 people are counted here, so the ZIP behaves like a village delivery route rather than a neighbourhood. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 82213 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 82213 reports a median household income of $67,692, close to the $67,692 county median, and 5% below the $70,916 typical WY ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $245,300, 6% above the county figure and 4% below the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $1,607 a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

Wyoming charges 4% statewide, and local governments overlapping 82213 may add county, city or special-district levies on top. We publish the state floor for this ZIP rather than guessing a combined figure, because ZIP boundaries and taxing-district boundaries were drawn for different purposes and do not line up.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 82213 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
