ZIP code 82432

ZIP 82432 is a very small community in Big Horn County, Wyoming, with 280 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #114 of 176 ranked by population — larger than 35% of them. The median age here is 49.9 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 82432 earn a median of $44,023 a year, 43.9% below the national figure of $78,538. 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 2.9% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 82432 is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 64.5% 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.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for ZIP 82432 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.

ZIP 82432 is tabulated inside Big Horn County, Wyoming, one of 13 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 176 across Wyoming. This is one of the smallest tabulated ZIP areas in the state, the kind of rural route where a single subdivision or farm cluster accounts for most addresses. 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 82432 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 82432 reports a median household income of $44,023, 26% below the $59,191 county median, and 38% below the $70,916 typical WY ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of not published. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at not published 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 82432 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 82432 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.
