ZIP 82944 in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
ZIP 82944 is a very small community in Uinta County, Wyoming, with 476 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #91 of 176 ranked by population — larger than 48% of them. The median age here is 25.5 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 82944 earn a median of not published a year. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 82944 is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 77.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
A median age of 25.5 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 476 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare ZIP 82944 against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld household income, home value, gross rent for ZIP 82944 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.
Reading ZIP 82944 in context
How 82944 sits inside Uinta County and Wyoming.
ZIP 82944 is tabulated inside Uinta County, Wyoming, one of 5 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 82944 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

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 82944 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 82944 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.
