ZIP code 82835

ZIP 82835 is a very small community in Sheridan County, Wyoming, with 376 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #97 of 176 ranked by population — larger than 45% of them. The median age here is 31.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 82835 earn a median of $79,712 a year, 1.5% above the national figure of $78,538. 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 11.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 82835 is valued at $350,000, 15.4% above the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,167 a month, 17% below the national figure, or roughly $14,004 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 54.3% 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.

ZIP 82835 is tabulated inside Sheridan County, Wyoming, one of 11 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 82835 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 82835 reports a median household income of $79,712, 6% above the $75,014 county median, and 12% above the $70,916 typical WY ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $350,000, 3% below the county figure and 37% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $1,167 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 82835 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 82835 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.
